ESG – Environmental, Social, Governance. These three keywords illustrate how broadly sustainability should be thought of today. It stretches from climate change to workforce diversity to sustainable financing strategies.
The three letters E, S & G represent perhaps the greatest megatrend of our time and a fundamental transformation of the economy. ESG has evolved from a risk and compliance topic to a value generation lever.
Sustainability, when implemented correctly, is an opportunity for more growth, profitability and increased company value—when it’s done right.
