The increasing demand for ESG investment has been propelled by a range of global factors, including the ongoing pandemic (yes it is still not fully over), heightened awareness of climate change, rising cybersecurity risks, disruptions in the supply chain, persistent economic disparities, and growing movements for social justice. Investors are recognizing the importance of considering these issues in their financial decisions and are rapidly embracing ESG strategies.
An ESG strategy is a comprehensive approach that enables a company to align its environmental, social, and governance practices with the goal of creating a more sustainable future. In particular, it places a strong emphasis on promoting social inclusion, recognizing that diversity and equitable treatment of all stakeholders is crucial for the long-term success and sustainability of the organization
The implementation of an ESG framework can deliver substantial benefits for both businesses and investors, particularly in the area of social inclusion. For businesses, it can
expand their access to capital,
enhance their reputation and brand identity, and
promote a culture of diversity and inclusiveness.
Investors, on the other hand, can benefit from low-risk investments that are aligned with ESG values, including those focused on social justice, diversity, and equity
