The strongest businesses are those fit for the challenges of
today but crucially with the flexibility, strength and resilience
to thrive whatever the future may bring.
More and more businesses are seeking to achieve this through a
greater understanding and a root-and-branch review of their
organisation's impact on its people, on communities and
society, and on the planet.
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) are three main
standards that provide a comprehensive view of the sustainability
and societal impact of a business. More and more companies are
reporting on their sustainability metrics.
So, why is ESG important for employers? With challenges such as
climate change and a societal push towards greater equality and
diversity, employers are expected to drive change and have a
sustainable business strategy. On top of that ESG is
increasingly driving the financial success of organisations because
it has become a key criteria for investors and lenders.
