ESG FUNDAMENTALS

ESG is more than just a result

At the core of ESG are deep and irreversible changes in societal attitudes. Increasingly aware generations of consumers want to know how their purchasing decisions affect the environment in which they live. ESG is a coherent concept that allows for measuring and assessing the impact of a business on the environment in which it operates, and not just on the environment itself. The ESG acronym refers to three areas:

Environmental

The environmental area measures and evaluates the impact of a company on the natural environment, such as greenhouse gas emissions, either independently or as part of the value chain.

Social responsibility

Social responsibility refers to the impact of a company’s activities on people, including employees, local communities, customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders associated with the company.

Governance

The area of management quality devoted to internal company processes aimed at ensuring compliance, transparency, and credibility. Here, we also deal with risk, both related to the company and its business model, as well as the value chain.

Sustainable management of a company is a source of your competitive advantage

Companies that do not effectively manage the area of sustainable development in their activities, reflected in the non-financial report, may soon have difficulties or lose the opportunity to obtain financing for their development. There are at least four reasons why companies include sustainable development principles in their strategies:

Market pressure and market trends, including ownership requirements
Compliance requirements with regulations
Opportunities to obtain capital and financing
Cooperation with partners within the value chain who are required to report non-financial data.

Over 67% of the world’s GDP is currently covered by the “net zero emissions” target, and corporate boards are already under pressure from stakeholders to address environmental issues. ESG is not just a formal requirement, it is a permanent change and an opportunity for organizational development and increased competitiveness. The pandemic and the war in Ukraine have only accelerated the agenda of the European Green Deal.
