ESG has become a critical element of business success. By addressing short and long term ESG risks, companies can become more resilient, efficient, and profitable.

‘This is a lot of work’, we hear you say…and you’re right, it is. But, the risks associated with a ‘do nothing’ approach are too great to ignore as consumers, investors, employees and regulators alike demand action.

WHAT IS ESG AND WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?
ESG is a framework to understand how an organisation measures and reports on Environmental, Social, and Governance topics.
First and foremost, ESG is essential to meet today’s needs without endangering future generations.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Members in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which are an urgent call for action by all countries – developed and developing – in a global partnership.
The 3-Year Roadmap shows ESG reporting requirements in the UK and EU, as these will both be relevant to businesses across the Island of Ireland.
Responsible businesses that take action sooner rather than later will impact the world as well as benefitting their business.
TOP 5 BUSINESS BENEFITS OF ESG ACTION
- COMPETITVE ADVANTAGE – Companies that pursue ESG have been shown to be up to 6x more profitable. Both customers and investors are demanding companies become more sustainable and reduce their negative impacts on the world.
- ACCESS TO FINANCE AND INSURANCE – ESG focused financing is on the rise. Companies that consider reputational risk factors and mitigate concerns maybe able to access funds at reduced rates.
- COST SAVING – Reducing a company’s use of resources and improving operational efficiencies can have a significant impact on a company’s bottom line.
- FULL COMPLIANCE – With an expert team behind you, you can place confidence in the fact that your business will meet existing and forthcoming Sustainability Reporting Standards in the UK and EU. Companies that meet the threshold will have to start reporting on their carbon footprint as part of the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting regulation(SECR) in the UK and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) in the EU, or risk fines for non-compliance.
- RETENTION AND ATTRACTION OF TALENT – Employees at ‘mission-driven’ companies have 40% higher levels of employee retention. Younger employees are choosing to work for more sustainable companies, and leaving companies that fail to improve.
