ESG & Sustainability
Meeting the Evolving ESG Expectations of Investors and Stakeholders
The Challenge
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance, also collectively referred to as ‘Sustainability’, rapidly evolved from a peripheral concern to a central pillar of capital markets strategy. Until recently, institutional investors, proxy advisors, customers, and employees were increasingly demanding measurable action on sustainability. However, this has recently waned with the rise of populist leaders in North America and Europe.
Given the flip flop in sentiment and the disbandment of sustainable investing alliances, management teams are struggling to determine what direction to take on ESG. Furthermore, companies continue to struggle to communicate their ESG efforts in a credible, consistent, and investor-relevant way.
The absence of a cohesive ESG and sustainability strategy can still give rise to investor skepticism, shareholder dissent, and reputational vulnerability.
