Environmental, social & governance white paper
A rapidly changing and interconnected world continues to place increased pressure on companies to make their operations as sustainable as possible. The focus on sustainability comes from many sources – customers, investors, industry peers and regulators. Companies now find themselves turning to data to help identify strengths and weaknesses in current management processes and provide insights to drive sustainability initiatives.
This has led some businesses to ESG – Environmental, Social and Governance-factors to help better define their sustainable operations, initiatives and areas of opportunity. At its core, ESG is a framework to help inform a company’s stakeholders on risks and opportunities related to the wholistic approach to sustainable performance.
Environmental
These factors include environmental conditions that can impact operations, as well as ways the
course of business can affect the natural environment. Examples include greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions, resource management, impact to biodiversity, and resiliency to overarching issues such
as climate change. Environmental factors that will ultimately be relevant are dependent on the
company, its scope of operations and its geographic location.
Social
These factors relate to the people within, or adjacent to, a company’s operations. Examples include
protections for worker health and safety, commitments to eliminate child labor or modern slavery
from the supply chain, increasing diversity and inclusivity within a company’s workforce and equity
for marginalized communities.
Governance
These factors relate to the internal processes in place within a company to preserve corporate
integrity and commitments to transparent operations. Examples include protections for
whistleblowers, frameworks to mitigate corruption and policies related to business continuity
and resilience.
