The concept of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) refers to a set of standards that measures an organisation's impact on the environment and communities in which it operates. 

In essence, ESG provides a framework for more accountable, transparent, and sustainable business practices.

Increasing consumer, shareholder and investor demands, coupled with greater regulatory scrutiny, has added growing pressure for corporate accountability. The pandemic and climate crisis have also accelerated the trend for more sustainable approaches to business. 

The current ‘business as usual’ approach is no longer a viable option, and ESG has cemented itself as a top strategic priority on the corporate agenda.
