ESG Global Guidance that helps you make a difference
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria call companies to advance on sustainability. Clear roadmaps transform initiatives into effective efforts.
What is ESG and what is its impact?
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) efforts is what companies do to increase accountability in its business, responsibility in its actions and transparency in its operations. An effective ESG strategy enhances a company’s impact on employees, consumers, the environment and the global community, helps increase its reliability and can even improve its bottom line.
More and more, investors and shareholders are considering a company’s environmental and social impact on the world and good governance, as part of their risk-growth analysis, using Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations to assess their value. In line with the increasing importance of these ESG ratings, which instill precise metrics for measuring corporate social contributions, ESG is fundamental to obtaining funding and leveraging other growth opportunities through non-financial factors.
