ESG and sustainability
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations are critical to resilience, competitiveness and long-term success for businesses of all shapes and sizes.
From fulfilling obligations and managing risks to seizing opportunities and meeting the growing expectations of investors, customers, employees and supply chains, ESG is a strategic imperative. Businesses must now not only build and embed effective ESG and sustainability strategies, they must also effectively measure, report on and communicate their actions and impact.
What is ESG?
ESG stands for environmental, social and governance. It describes how a business manages its impact on people and the planet, and it provides a framework for businesses to improve sustainability, manage risks and demonstrate responsibility. Investors also use this framework to assess opportunities and risks when making investment decisions.
ESG – how each component affects your business
The environmental, social and governance components of ESG together create a comprehensive ESG framework that guides and measures the impact of your business on the environment and society as well as the transparency of your actions and your accountability.
