The effects of the current coronavirus crisis on the British economy has posed serious challenges for the country’s companies and their employees.
The article gives an overview of those companies (on a sector-by-sector view) who deserve plaudits and brickbats so far.
Analysis and Comments
Investors have seen a clear increase in the number of socially responsible actions (a shift from E to S in ESG) – an unsurprising development as companies have shifted their focus on addressing the immediate health crisis.
But while 2020 is shaping up to be the year social considerations are prioritised, Investors and analysts think 2019’s momentum on integrating environmental factors into the investment process will (at worst) be delayed, but is in fact likely to accelerate once the immediate crisis has passed and additional (green) stimulus programmes are put in place – at least across Europe.
Over the last few weeks, there has been various actions taken by corporates to address the COVID crisis (as well as relevant company/sector new; focus on Europe)
It is interesting to see which companies are thriving - thanks for sharing the article - upvote on its way. My work has been turned upside down like many people.
There are going to be many casualties though and that is really sad. Some good businesses destroyed.
Indeed, I also think over time we will have hundred of thousands of deaths, I am particularly worried about emerging countries...
On the business side, I believe SMEs will be the one taking the bigger hit and many of them might go bankrupt. I hope I am wrong but datas I am seeing make me believe that we are heading into a big crisis...
The coronavirus outbreak has really affected the world economy and it has also led to the loss of lives of many people around the world. I just hope everything gets better as soon as possible.

Wow! This is actually a great impact and work by the investors. But isn't there a way they can implement the green stimulus program? Who knows if it's gonna help the present situation.
Yes it will, negative in the ST but I believe quite positive in the Medium Term.
We also need to not be too optimistic as many times after a crisis people thought "things will change". Unfortunately, it never happened to the extent expected.
Stay safe and take care of my loved ones @hardaeborla

We know that some companies will thrive during this crises while others will go down, thanks for the update.
Yes but the topic was mainly about the shift in investor's mentality towards ESG companies that seem to attract most of them.
