What is ESG?
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. It represents a set of factors that complement financials as a way to measure a company’s overall performance. It leads management to use a new set of decision criteria that considers sustainability related risks and opportunities, in order to increase their companies’ resilience, gain a competitive edge, and maximize their positive environmental and social impacts in addition to financial returns (aka “triple bottom line”).
Environmental topics cover, among others: Climate change & greenhouse gases, energy, water & waste management, biodiversity impact.
Social topics cover, among others: Employee Health & Safety (EHS), Diversity-Equity-Inclusion (DEI), talent attraction & retention, community involvement, data security & privacy.
Governance topics cover, among others: Compliance, board structure, code of ethics, business model resilience & risk management, management compensation, share of revenue from sustainable products & services.
Different companies in different industries have different sets of material (most important) topics. This means companies must first assess which topics need to be prioritized to improve their ESG performance and generate the most triple bottom line results.

We believe every company needs an ESG function within their organization. Let us be your outsource ESG support to build your team’s capabilities and kick-start your sustainability journey.
Why aren’t more organizations transiting into sustainability? Professionals at the senior level feel that it requires an insurmountable amount of work and often do not know where to start, and this holds back organizations from taking any action at all. To help address this, we developed a diagnostic tool for businesses and organizations to easily understand and assess their current sustainability level (for free!).
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is no longer an uncommon phrase in today’s economy. An integral part of the Triple Bottom Line: People, Planet and Profit, the benefits of DEI can be felt across a company’s operations. In this article, we break down the indicators on DEI included in various reporting standards.
