ESG reporting and attaining a certain standard of performance have mostly been voluntary to date however an increasing number of regulators are moving towards mandated reporting and enforcing a minimum standard of performance. The KEY ESG software allows your organisation to be ahead of the curve and ensures that your organisation is not taken by surprise when new regulations come into force.
The following examples illustrate that regulation is in place, or expected to come into place, across each of the three dimensions: Environment, Social and Governance.
These are only a few examples and the trend is definitely moving towards increasingly strict regulation on ESG metrics across the globe.
No. Effectively managing ESG unlocks value for any company, whether private or public. The following are example scenarios, applying to both private and public companies, of when effective ESG management can generate positive value: applying for a bank business loan, participating in public procurement, and, attracting talented employees.
Effectively managing your company’s ESG performance allows you to unlock sustainable business value and helps to differentiate yourself from your competition. Incorporating ESG factors into day-to-day business processes supports long-term value creation.
A company’s interaction with the environment, regulators, and other stakeholders impacts upon its long-term competitiveness, reputation, and success. Performance with regards to ESG matters can determine whether or not a firm receives a business loan from the bank, whether it is given support from regulators or a fine, and whether or not it is successful in public procurement. These factors help attract the best talent and investors, and increasingly impact upon share price performance (for listed companies), cost of capital, and value creation potential.
