About ESG Strategy
ESG stands for Environmental Social Governance. It is used to measure how a business interacts with society and the environment.
An ESG strategy outlines how an organisation intends to allocate and use its resources including its financial and material assets.
ESG is more prominent than ever. Investors and stakeholders are taking greater interest in Environmental and Social Governance as part of their financial analysis process. This is leading many companies to seek improvements in their ESG performance. Being transparent and taking accountability is the key to being a forward thinking, socially aware business.
