Environment Social Governance

A refreshingly effective approach to make ESG reporting transparent, effective, and affordable

What is ESG

The worlds changing climate and the inevitable impact upon our environment, is becoming an ever growing and urgent issue. Many commentators suggesting it will be the single most important factor in the post-Covid business landscape. The environmental ’emergency’ requires all businesses to engage with the issue and to play their part. Its time for everyone in business to understand ESG – Environment, Social, Governance – and how these three themes will impact the business landscape and affect organisations of all sizes across the World.

Environment

The ‘E’ of ESG refers specifically to the environment, but merely understanding the emissions, waste, and raw materials consumed isn’t enough. How do businesses understand the wider impact and measure the impact across the supply and through to the end user.

ESG demands a new depth of reporting. Since all products and processes consume natural resources and influence the environment to an extent, we must measure their impact as accurately and detailed as possible. Social

Social

Our natural world is more than the environment it exists within, there is the social and human context too. Whatever the size, sector, or type of organisation, it employs people whose health and wellbeing are intertwined with their employer’s activities. Corporate anti-slavery statements were created because of this thought process.

The ‘Social’ element within the ESG movement considers the organisational policies and practices across a broad range of human issues; human rights, business ethics, diversity & inclusion through to supply chain management. It reveals the social impact of the way a business operates and how it

Governance

Corporate governance is focused on risk and honesty, and touches on almost all corporate activities, including board and management structures as well as policies, information disclosure, auditing, and compliance. That’s where the ‘Governance’ comes in with ESG.

Honesty and transparency are critical pillars within the corporate landscape, with the Volkswagen emissions scandal highlighting the impact this can have. Similarly, commitments to privacy and anti-bribery are universally accepted.

Governance is driven by risk awareness and the deep, regular assessment of a company’s macro and microenvironment. For example, changes in the climate could bring drought or flooding risk, representing a material risk to the business, the building, its employees and general continuity.
