On Wednesday, Hart Energy held its annual DUG (Developing Unconventional Gas) East event. This year the event was virtual instead of in-person at the convention center in Pittsburgh. One acronym seemed to be on the lips of nearly every speaker at this year’s event: ESG, which stands for “environment, social, governance.” Speakers said if Marcellus/Utica companies want to get new investment from the big money libs who now control the financial markets, they better “talk the talk and walk the walk” when it comes to ESG.
