Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) refers to a set of criteria used to evaluate a company's performance in environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and corporate governance, and is considered essential for a company's overall impact on society and the environment. ESG has gained prominence in ethical investing, guiding capital towards businesses that prioritise sustainability and ethical conduct.
ESG training is crucial to foster responsible decision-making, enhance corporate reputation, and drive long-term value, and it empowers employees to integrate sustainability considerations into their day-to-day decision-making processes. It also enables employees to identify, assess, and mitigate risks effectively and attract and retain top talent. ESG training can act as a catalyst for innovation, positioning organisations as industry leaders and gaining a competitive edge.
