ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and Net Zero issues are becoming increasingly prevalent for businesses large and small.

In recent times the expectations of businesses to integrate ESG risk management into business models has become mainstream.

Managing and reporting of ESG risk is a significant challenge and over the next four years its about to become a substantial challenge. Two new European directives who focus on corporate sustainability will require unpresidented disclosures on Human rights and environmental risk effecting every company who has a substantal presence in the EU – including the UK, US and other international countries with a presence within the EU.

The modern business realises that ESG is an opportunity to not just have a deeper understanding of risks but seek brand enhancement, engage customers, partner with new suppliers, streamline operations, attract talent, greater preparation for unforeseen issues (such as pandemics) and improved financial performance.

Why is ESG here to stay?

Our world faces a number of global challenges: climate change, transitioning from a linear economy to a circular one, increasing inequality, balancing economic needs with societal needs. Investors, regulators, as well as consumers and employees are now increasingly demanding that companies should not only be good stewards of capital but also of natural and social capital and have the necessary governance framework in place to support this. More and more investors are incorporating ESG elements into their investment decision making process, making ESG increasingly important from the perspective of securing capital, both debt and equity.

What falls under the Environmental Pillar?

Emissions such as greenhouse gases and air, water and ground pollution emissions. Resources use such as whether a company uses virgin or recycled materials in its production processes and how a company ensures that from cradle to grave the maximum material in their product is cycled back into the economy rather than ending up in a landfill. Similarly, companies are expected to be good stewards of water resources. Land use concerns like deforestation and biodiversity disclosures also fall under the Environmental Pillar. Companies also report on positive sustainability impacts they might have, which may translate into long-term business advantage. From a reporting perspective this is the most complex pillar.

What falls under the Social Pillar?

Under the Social Pillar companies report on how they manage their employee development and labour practices. They report on product liabilities regarding the safety and quality of their product. They also report on their supply chain labour and health and safety standards and controversial sourcing issues. Where relevant companies are expected to report on how they provide access to their products and services to underprivileged social groups.

What falls under the Governance Pillar?

The main issues reported under the Governance Pillar are shareholders rights, board diversity, how executives are compensated and how their compensation is aligned with the company’s sustainability performance. It also includes matters of corporate behaviour such as anti-competitive practices, Anti Money Laundering, correct statutory reporting to name a few. Reporting is typically done by applying one or more frameworks. The 2 most commonly used reporting frameworks are the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Sustainable Accounting Standards Board’s standards (SASB). ESG reporting is typically done by publishing a sustainability report although more and more companies are disclosing data through webpages that showcase the companies ESG performance in addition to a more standard report

ESG Risks

Thinking and acting on ESG risks in a proactive way is becoming more pressing for businesses of all shapes and sizes. The impacts of ESG on how modern businesses operate is now not only an opportunity to differentiate operating models and communication with customers and partners, but material impacts on financial performance and access to unique products. The new model of business has emerged, and early adopters are realising great top-line growth, reduced operating costs and better prepared for regulatory and legal challenges.
