Increasingly, businesses are coming under pressure from all stakeholders to demonstrate tangible progress towards ESG objectives. A company’s ability to preserve their social license, will likely depend on their ability to recognize and handle their externalities. But with ESG covering anything from energy consumption, to employee volunteering hours, to diversity statistics, managing ESG reporting and goals can be challenging and time-consuming if organizations lack the right processes. 80% of business leaders remain frustrated with the lack of progress in meeting sustainability initiatives, despite 96% of business leaders wanting to rise to the occasion and make more headway in this area.
The question for many, then, is where to start with ESG initiatives. ESG is more than just setting targets and enhancing brand image – it’s about how business leaders can come together, engage their staff, and effectively use data to create actionable goals and make real change.
