One of the first steps brands should take is to get clear about the role they can and will play in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues – keeping in mind that whatever they do in the ESG space must be relevant for and to the brand.

Everyone has a role to play in acting well today
 to safeguard tomorrow. Brands are no exception.
