Why ESG matters?

In today's world, businesses are not just economic entities; they are integral parts of society and the environment. ESG represents a set of criteria that forward-thinking investors use to screen potential investments. Environmental criteria consider how a company performs as a steward of nature. Social criteria examine how it manages relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and communities. Governance deals with a company’s leadership, executive pay, audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights.

For Business Owners

As a business owner, incorporating ESG principles into your business strategy is no longer optional but essential. It's about building a sustainable business model that not only generates profit but also contributes positively to society and the environment. Here's what you need to know:

Risk Management

SG factors help in identifying risks and opportunities that might not be apparent through traditional financial analysis.

Investor Attraction

Increasingly, investors are looking to put their money into companies that are committed to ESG principles (and not working with those that are not)

Regulatory Compliance

Governments worldwide are starting to enforce stricter ESG-related regulations. In Australia we are looking at the introduction of Mandatory Climate Reporting as early as FY24 for certain entities. Being ahead in ESG compliance can save your business from future legal and financial troubles.

Brand Reputation and Loyalty

Consumers are becoming more conscious of the impact of their purchases. Companies with strong ESG values tend to foster deeper customer loyalty and brand strength.
