Time for investors, corporate sector to address geopolitical risk alongside ESG considerations

A FEW days before Russian tanks began rolling into Ukraine, I was feeling rather disheartened about the way the world seemed to be reacting to the imminent invasion.

The US and its allies were indicating that they would do nothing more than impose sanctions on Russia.

Meanwhile, some analysts told me an invasion was unlikely to divert investor attention for too long from the post-pandemic economic recovery that has lifted global markets over the past year.
