Turning ESG challenges into opportunities
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) changes can lead to commercial opportunities that meet society’s need to build a sustainable future. Demands from all stakeholders — investors, customers, employees, vendors, legislators and regulators, and communities — mean ESG actions reach every aspect of a company’s operations. As companies connect ESG and sustainability efforts to company values and business drivers — and as stakeholders connect ESG performance with financial performance and potential profitability — the opportunity to reflect that commitment in your people, products and operations becomes increasingly urgent.
Today’s ESG challenges are wide ranging, covering environmental stewardship and carbon emissions, to employee safety and diversity, equity and inclusion strategies, to responsible governance of people, capital and risk issues. To compete in the coming decades, companies need strong, well-planned ESG strategies and coordinated, multidimensional approaches to drive performance and manage risks in each ESG focus area:
- Environmental aspects include site selection and routing, prior site contamination, environmental impact assessment, permitting, legislation and future requirements, environmental disclosure and climate change risk assessment.
- Social aspects include occupational safety, human rights assessment, emergency response system, physical and cybersecurity and stakeholder engagement.
- Governance aspects include integrated environmental, safety and social management systems; environmental, safety and social compliance plans; emergency response and contingency plans for emission and spill control; operations and maintenance plans; and management review and approval.
With so many dimensions to sustainability, full ESG understanding is important to every company. There is no one-size-fits-all ESG solution across industries and markets, and relevance varies for each facility. No matter what ESG elements apply to your company or where you are in your sustainability efforts, you need a partner that brings the strongest combination of technical, environmental, and commercial skills and experience to the table.
