Getting your Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) proposition right is important and can lead to higher value creation for your business. A proactive approach to ESG is becoming more and more critical for businesses of all sizes. There is no longer a choice for businesses on whether to benefit society or just to focus on commercial returns: customers, investors and your workforce will be either attracted or repelled by the attitudes, activities and practices that your company displays to the world. This will drive your image now and in future, internally and externally. Research has shown that values displayed by companies directly influence client attraction and retention, investor behaviour and government attitudes. Even small businesses need to get the balance right – it is ever more important to build a sustainable, thriving business, while delivering for society; and your business needs to be seen to be doing so. A positive, responsible attitude to society and the environment helps to create value in your business, but how do you implement this, and demonstrate it to clients, employees and stakeholders? That’s where we come in. ESG Excellence focuses on all areas of ESG whether it be shaping ESG activities, investments and company governance to making sure messages about those activities are conveyed correctly to stakeholders including customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders and the community at large.
