What is ESG and why is ESG important?

Environment, social responsibility, and governance (ESG) identifies, measures and tracks the impact that an organization’s policies and processes have in the environment, social, and governance areas. ESG continues to move up organizations’ agendas, with a growing number of stakeholders taking a keen interest, including employees, customers and investors, meaning that ESG can impact their brand, revenue, company valuation, and market perception, and reduces risk. 

The growing call for organizations around the world to lead the way in supporting pressing social, environmental and governance issues, has highlighted the need for consistent and regulated tracking and reporting as a means of demonstrating the effectiveness of ESG strategies on delivering progressive change.
