Frequently Asked Questions:
How does ESG create financial value for my company?
Having an ESG plan creates alignment on forward-looking strategies to make operational improvements—changes that also happen to benefit society and the environment. Examples of tangible financial benefits that may come from an ESG plan include lower turnover, improved talent acquisition, reduced cost of utilities, reduced business disruptions, new business development opportunities, and better access to capital.
How does ESG interact with my strategic plan? How is it different?
ESG is part of a company’s overall strategic plan. It focuses on factors relevant to sustainable development and incorporates opinions from important stakeholders.
There would need to be a large investment into both education and time. The ESG field is relatively new, growing rapidly, and complex—having subject matter expertise will help with your workload and will authenticate the efforts you are claiming. A trusted advisor can offer validation, focus, financial resources, and availability for implementation among other things.
