Investors are no longer prepared to invest in unsustainable businesses. What was once a nice to have, has become a necessity with investors pressing businesses to demonstrate financial sustainability but also good Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) credentials.
What is considered good ESG performance is ever-evolving as our understanding of the challenges grows, the severity of the risks increases, and the industry’s response develops.
Moreover, what is expected from your business will differ based on your business type, sector and scale of impact.
These challenges are compounded with the increasing number of ESG issues such as net-carbon targets, TCFD, single-use plastics and modern slavery which businesses are expected to respond to
There is the temptation to pick issues on all fronts, but we risk spreading ourselves too thinly. The key to success is to address the issues that are significant to the business and find the levers within your reach to pull.
An ESG materiality review will allow your business to identify the ESG themes you should be addressing, and the type of levers you can pull that are proportionate to the scale of your business and its impact.
Focusing efforts where it matters the most
