ESG investing is entering the mainstream and is in hot demand. Shares launches the first of its two-part series on why environmental, social and governance issues matter to investors and how to get exposure.

Also this week: the stocks and commodities that could be affected by bad rain, activist investor targets, and the rules on company reporting.
