Turn ESG Theory into Action
ESG Reporting refers to the Disclosure of Data covering a Company’s Operations in three areas: Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance. It provides a snapshot of the Business’s Impact in these three areas for Investors, Customers and wider Stakeholders. Investors are increasingly considering ESG issues to help manage Investment Risks. Strong ESG Performance leads to Preferential Treatment from Investors compared to Companies whose Environmental or other Practices may pose a Greater Financial Risk. Robust Sustainability and ESG Strategies increase Business Resilience and help improve overall Company Performance. ESG practices can be as beneficial to Individual Companies as they are to Investors, and a focus on ESG can lead to Improvement and Harmonization of Management Practices. ESG means using Environmental, Social and Governance factors to evaluate companies and countries on how far advanced they are with sustainability.

IMPORTANCE OF ESG SUSTAINABILITY
Meaningful Change to Measurable Value
Companies are feeling increasing pressure to report and improve their ESG Data from both customers, investors and regulators. A strong and meaningful ESG program can set a vision for an organization’s environmental and societal influence, providing value both internally and externally. Establishing environmental goals can help reduce your carbon footprint, determine your sourcing strategy and set a foundation for how to eliminate unnecessary waste. From a social impact lens, you can build a meaningful diversity program, enhance employee health and make lasting changes in your community. And by building a strong governance foundation, you can diversify your board, enhance business ethics, increase stakeholder transparency and protect privacy. According to the European Green Deal, by 2050, all member states will have circular economies, having achieved net-zero emissions. While the European Union (EU) has a head start, the United States also has bold plans to de-carbonize the economy and aim for net-zero emissions target by 2050. Companies are already experiencing the financial consequences of failing to act on sustainability as many countries have implemented regulations, such as carbon taxes, and the financial and banking sectors have integrated ESG rules into their funding criteria. The only way stakeholders can avoid poor lending conditions and exclusion from capital markets is to show evidence of having developed robust sustainability and ESG strategies. In addition, the private equity market also includes sustainability and ESG criteria into its portfolio strategies. Private investors have realized that investing in companies with a robust and convincing ESG strategy positively affects ROI, reduces lending and revenue risks. Investors are increasingly considering ESG issues to help manage investment risks. ESG performance ratings and reports show investors a company’s efforts to mitigate risks and generate sustainable long-term financial returns. Furthermore, firms that have successfully implemented sustainability and ESG strategies tend to outperform the other top global companies.
SUSTAINABLE INVESTING
ESG Investing Trends
Traditional Investing delivers value by translating investor capital into investment opportunities that carry risks commensurate with expected returns. Sustainable investing balances traditional investing with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) related insights to improve long-term outcomes. Investors who use ESG in their decision-making are able to invest sustainably while maintaining the same level of financial returns as they would with a standard investment approach. Sustainable investing, sometimes known as socially responsible investing (SRI) or impact investing, puts a premium on positive social change by considering both financial returns and moral values in investments decisions. This strategy emphasizes financial returns as a secondary consideration after the investors’ moral values have been accounted for in their decision-making. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) has emerged as much more than a responsibility. It’s an opportunity to build a more sustainable business and a key differentiator to enhance relevancy and trust with organization stakeholders. Built strategically, an ESG program creates valuable impact within your organization, your community and for the planet for years to come. Investors recognize that solving the climate crisis is one of the biggest challenges of this decade. Flows into ESG funds doubled from 2020 to 2021. That trend is poised to continue in the coming years, as a new report from Broadridge Financial Solutions predicts that ESG assets will tip $30 trillion by 2030. However, today's investors expect more in return and in returns. They expect these funds to provide competitive yield, and they want to know that companies are upholding their promises. In many ways, sustainable investing can be seen as part of the evolution of investing. There is a growing recognition among industry participants that some ESG factors are economic factors, especially in the long term, and it is, therefore, important to incorporate material ESG factors. Only responsible ownership and savvy implementation will deliver sustainability. They will also differentiate the winners from the losers.
