Environmental, Social & Governance
(ESG)
ESG refers to the three key factors used to measure an organisation’s sustainability and societal impact.
- Environmental: How we manage our impact on the planet.
- Social: How we support people and communities.
- Governance: How we ensure ethical business conduct.
Notwithstanding the fact that it is the right thing to do, our ability to demonstrate a strong ESG framework enhances our competitive advantage, strengthens relationships with clients, and aligns with global standards and expectations.
