Independent ESG delivers needed governance
High quality ESG assessments with a robust methodology, mitigate against these pitfalls. We objectively assess many facets, where some sports will medal, others melt. Develop and celebrate diversity, employee engagement, philanthropic and community involvement, corporate sustainability, codes of conduct, tax transparency, strong corporate governance… the list goes on. Step one: be brave, take the field, test yourself, engage.
ESG, put simply, underpins a central theme; that for business, or sport to be successful, there has to be a deeper core purpose for existence than just the bottom line, and to be able to prove it. You can have it all, it's not purpose v profit, but purpose as the keystone of profit, fuelled by a culture all are proud of. If not, it is likely that you’ll fall on your backside and, as the ESL puppeteers found out to their deep embarrassment, it hurts.
