In an environment where an organisation's character is under as much scrutiny as their capability, it is critical for businesses to demonstrate their commitment to environmental, governance and broader social concerns. In practice, they are focused on illustrating that they operate fairly, causing no harm to people or the planet in their day-to-day operations. Better still, businesses that demonstrate a positive social impact have enhanced credibility and brand status in the eyes of shareholders, customers, employees and the community.
Businesses are responding to rapid changes in the regulatory landscape, as environmental, social and governance (ESG) concerns move from the fringes of Board, executive and auditor consideration towards the core. Supply chain and operations, sources of capital and leaders' decisions are now scrutinised for environmental and human consequences, and are intrinsically linked to long-term business growth.
