When it comes to creating an end-to-end strategic shift in the alignment of ESG with commercial objectives, business leaders have many considerations to take into account. How to ensure ESG feeds into the business planning and value creation process? Do the ESG commitments truly deliver on the ‘North Star’ that is corporate purpose. What are the expectations of stakeholders (both inside and outside the organisation), and how do you balance competing priorities and expectations? How do you ensure the goals you set are ambitious and impactful, and that your reporting addresses the needs of double materiality (financial and ESG data)?
ESG creates opportunity, in particular, it helps to drive innovation. Its ‘sustainability lens’ forces businesses to think critically about the long-term value they create, and to identify new trends, business opportunities and partnerships. More broadly, ESG is an increasingly powerful tool to strengthen corporate reputations.
