What is ESG and why is it relevant?

ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance and refers to the standards organizations use to measure sustainability, ethics and long-term responsibility. ESG covers areas such as climate impact, diversity and inclusion, leadership accountability, governance and responsible business practices. The topic has become increasingly relevant because investors, customers, employees and regulators expect businesses to demonstrate transparency and long-term sustainability. A keynote on ESG helps organizations understand how responsible strategies can strengthen resilience, improve reputation and create sustainable growth while preparing businesses for future challenges and expectations.
