FAQS
Frequently asked questions
ESG stands for environmental, social, and governance. It is the parameter that socially conscious companies use to base their operation, culture, and ethos on. It ensures that businesses maintain focus on ‘what really matters’ in business — namely the environment, communities, and people. ESG is also becoming increasingly relevant when investors select which businesses to commit their money to.

ESG covers key issues surrounding the environment (climate change, reducing carbon emissions and pollution, waste management etc.), social matters (customer satisfaction, community relations, human rights, diversity and equality), and governance (corruption, lobbying, politics, etc.).
ESG is here to stay and every organisation, big or small, must embrace and prepare for it. It is also important to appreciate that ESG is not about saving the world - rather, it is about conducting business in way that mitigates risk and drives financial performance while being responsible employers, business partners, and citizens.
Focus on the why
Examine how an ESG strategy can benefit the organisation
Investigate how your company is currently performing, both in absolute terms as well as in comparison with peer companies
Discuss the risks associated with NOT focusing on ESG
Discuss with stakeholders how ESG is not going away; the sooner the company is on board with ESG, the better for its long term future
Educate stakeholders that regardless of the language used, ESG is essentially what the company should already be doing for its own benefit
