Since our first ESG assignment, well over 10 years ago, a lot
has changed. One constant, however, is the opening statement of
prospective clients. "What we don't want, is a box-ticking
exercise; we want to see ESG as a value driver. Can you give us
examples of where ESG really created value?"
Of course we can!
In the thousands of company scans we conducted over the past
years, we have found many ESG related risks and opportunities that
belong at the top of the agendas of senior management, and we have
helped our clients create value from these findings by reducing
risks, reaping cost saving potential, or rethinking propositions
and business models.
But value creation is not the only driver of ESG. By creating
monetary value, an entrepreneur can turn a public need into a
solution. This public need is what drives ESG.
