There’s a lot of debate around ESG right now. Some people think ESG is pushing a liberal agenda and destabilising the free market. Others think it doesn’t go far enough and isn’t forcing business to become more sustainable. There are questions around greenwashing and greenhushing, which is where companies are too scared of backlash to talk about their sustainability initiatives. The big question is: What does it really mean to be a responsible business? Oxford professor Robert G. Eccles believes that first and foremost, it means being clear about your purpose. Too many values and mission statements can muddy the waters. Universal standards for reporting are coming, especially with the SRB in Europe. Companies must adjust to this by being candid in their reporting. ESG policies are also losing traction with shareholders. Investor support for these declined from 30% to 20% between 2022 and 2023, despite a growth in ESG-related proposals. These proposals seem to lack fact-based evidence to support their claims. This is where clear aims and candid reporting come in - they provide the basis for a clear strategy and the evidence needed to win over shareholders. #esg #sustainability #sustainablebusiness #climatechange

Hello pals, Nowadays, everyone is talking about ESG. Do we really know what it stands for and means? So herewith as per my recent knowledge: "ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. It's a framework used to assess how a company performs in terms of these three critical areas: - Environmental: This refers to a company's impact on the natural world, such as its greenhouse gas emissions, waste management, and resource use. - Social: This refers to a company's impact on people, such as its labor practices, human rights record, and community engagement. - Governance: This refers to a company's leadership and internal controls, such as its board structure, executive compensation, and anti-corruption practices. ESG factors are increasingly being considered by investors, lenders, and other stakeholders as they make decisions about which companies to support. This is because companies with strong ESG practices are often seen as being more sustainable and resilient in the long term." Here are some of the benefits of ESG investing: - Reduced risk: Companies with strong ESG practices are less likely to be exposed to climate change, regulatory changes, and social unrest risks. - Enhanced returns: Studies have shown that companies with strong ESG practices can outperform their peers in the long term. - Positive impact: ESG investing allows you to align your investments with your values and support companies that are making a positive contribution to the world.

This is a very useful and interesting tidbit from the Wolters Kluwer article "The ABCs of ESG Reporting" from 2022: "What’s the difference between ESG and sustainability? ESG and sustainability are sometimes used interchangeably, but there are some notable differences. - Generally speaking, sustainability refers to a company’s relationship to the environment, where ESG extends that relationship to social responsibility and corruption. - ESG is an external investment framework, or a form of metrics, that helps companies communicate their initiatives and investors assess the company’s performance and risk. On the other hand, sustainability is seen as an internal framework that guides the organization’s capital investments. In other words, sustainability is the motivation, ESG is the reported outcome. - Since ESG is a reporting framework, it is more relevant to publicly traded companies looking to attract and inform investors or any other business looking to attract financing." #ESG #Sustainability #SustainabilityMatters #SustainabilityMattersAtAquent #Aquent #ClimateAction #GoGreen
