Business relationships in difficult times
Sustainability mindset — Executive summary
Organisations that have built their sustainability literacy and furthering on their environmental, social and governance (ESG) journeys are proving to be more resilient businesses. A possible reason for this is the greater corporate adaptability that ESG reporting and scrutiny provide organisations, allowing them to rethink their business models in times of stress. Finance professionals have a vital role in focusing on long-term value and resilience that meet present needs without compromising future generations’ ability to meet their needs. This requires a systems approach to ensure sustainable practices are embedded into an organisation’s governance, strategy, risk management and metrics and targets.
