Global PSSL collaborated with several short sellers to develop a first recommendation on how to enhance activist short selling with ESG thinking to weed out greenwashing and social washing. This standard was launched at an event moderated by Billy Nauman at Financial Times with participation from a senior researcher at the World Bank.
