In today’s dynamic and global business world, a new language has emerged and is gaining traction in corporate communications: ESG. This three-letter abbreviation is present not only in business environments but is also becoming a key element in conversations about the future, responsibility, and sustainable development. Behind these three letters, three main areas mark the new era in companies’ approach to their activities: Environmental, Social, and Governance.
Why do companies do this?
So why have companies started to pay so much attention to these three letters? The reason is multifaceted and involves several key factors. Firstly, society and consumers are becoming more and more aware of the challenges related to environmental protection, ethical behavior, and responsible management of companies. Clients and consumers are starting to choose products and services from companies that not only offer quality but also contribute to the values and activities they support.
Secondly, investors have also started to notice the value of ESG in terms of long-term profitability. Companies that consistently implement activities related to environmental protection, ethical management, and good governance can attract more capital and gain the trust of the financial market. Valuable ESG-focused companies are perceived as more stable, more sustainable, and more prepared for changing market conditions.
Collaboration between the agency and the client’s team is still crucial in achieving goals
How do they implement ESG activities?
How companies implement ESG activities varies and depends on the industry, goals, and mission of the company. Here are a few examples:
Sustainable environmental management
Companies are taking concrete actions to reduce CO2 emissions, effectively manage natural resources, promote recycling, and implement ecological production practices. Examples include reducing water consumption, investing in renewable energy sources, and moving towards carbon neutrality.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Companies engage in social projects that support local communities and improve the quality of life of their residents. They support educational programs, charitable activities, and initiatives related to gender equality, cultural diversity, and social inclusion. In addition, companies take action to ensure the safety and health of employees and promote ethical work and honesty in business.
Ethical management
Companies care about transparency and honesty in management. They apply the principles of good governance that minimize the risk of conflict of interest and corruption. An example of this practice would be the establishment of independent supervisory boards or ethics committees.
ESG reporting
Companies publish reports on their ESG activities, which provide information to investors, customers, and the public on this topic. These reports contain specific data on progress in the ESG area, goals and plans for the future, and a description of actions undertaken for sustainable development.
