Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)

What's good for the world is good for business

Environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) initiatives have become an increasingly important indicator for measuring an organization's health, performance, resiliency and long-term value in today's socially conscious economy.

Seamlessly integrating ESG into all aspects of the business helps organizations tap into new markets and drive financial performance, increase agility to combat unexpected shifts in the market, embrace fluidity in regulatory environments, and boost innovation and productivity — all while shaping a better world for future generations.

Customers, partners and investors are prioritizing organizations that are focused on shaping a better world through three key areas:

What's good for the world is good for business

Environmental

Impact of an organization's resources on the environment, such as carbon footprint, toxic chemicals in manufacturing processes and supply chain processes.

How organizations improve and advocate for diversity and inclusion internally and within their communities.

Governance

An organization's practices, policies and processes for creating positive change, ensuring fairness and remaining compliant.
