How ESG can shape an organization’s sustainability
June 1, 2023 · Authored by Ed Mahon, Thomas E. Unke, Shane Lloyd
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) is an umbrella term for operating in a way that embeds sustainability into an organization’s business strategy and core operating model. ESG concepts are not new, but with pressures from consumers, employees and institutional investors they are gaining momentum and can have a real impact on the bottom line of a business. A strong and meaningful ESG program can reduce costs, manage and mitigate risk, and attract and retain talent.
