ESG Masterclass for Entrepreneurs - Embedding ESG in Your Company
Channel: Sankalp Forum
Date: 18/11/2022

ESG is a process, not an outcome. Embedding ESG measures in company operations can help companies be more efficient, save costs and attract investment. The session will elaborate on the global trends in ESG, the biggest market opportunities, and the challenges for entrepreneurs in understanding and adopting ESG. Governments and market exchanges all over the world are increasingly requiring companies to report on their ESG indicators and their impact on the environment and society. Regulations have been enacted requiring mandatory ESG and sustainability reporting. However, the variety of reporting standards makes it confusing for companies and investors to know which ESG measures to adopt, which are effective ESG measures, and which are greenwashing. A strategic understanding of ESG, and embedding it in operations for the long term, helps avoid potential penalties and risks that come from implementing ESG as a simple checklist.
