Committing and transitioning responsibility into the core of an organisation through the environmental, social and governance lens.
As the world we live is in changing, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria are becoming more and more important. They are a set of standards of a company’s behaviour and mission in the area of sustainability, used by conscious investors to screen potential investments and other stakeholders to understand an organisations commitment.
Investors are increasingly applying these non-financial factors as part of their analysis process to identify material risks and growth opportunities. An ESG strategy refers to the plan you set and work to meet ESG objectives, such as reducing energy consumption, diversifying the talent pool, and attracting customers with sustainable products. There theme can be complex and evolving, yet important for an organisation to get it right.
Environmental criteria consider how a company safeguards the environment, including corporate policies addressing climate change, for example. Social criteria examine how it manages relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and the communities where it operates. Governance deals with a company’s leadership, executive pay, audits, internal controls and shareholder rights.
ESG factors have been growing rapidly since the beginning of this decade, and are expected to continue rising significantly over the decade to come. Talk to our experts to start and manage your journey.
