ESG is not just a “reporting exercise” – it requires CEO-level commitment and shapes all decisions in the organization
The post-COVID-19 “next normal” will see rising government and societal expectations of corporates, elevating ESG even further on the agenda There is a “tried and tested” methodology to design and deliver an ESG transformation focused on embedding ESG into the DNA of an organization
ESG leaders tap into multiple sources of value creation – i.e. purpose AND profit ESG transformation is hard – requiring substantial trade-offs, authenticity (from the very top), and focused execution
ESG is a negotiation between the company and wider society – your legitimacy derives from how you embed it and how you are seen to live it
