‘Managing A Business’s Social & Environmental Policies & Practices: Your ‘ESG’ Profile

ESG Profiles Are Becoming Very Relevant

Program Description

Within the last few years, a business’s ESG (Environment, Social, and Financial Governance) has become a priority concern. In addition to quality, value, and service, consumers are demanding that businesses have policies and practices that are socially and environmentally conscious.

Today, well-managed businesses are aware that customers and the greater public expect them to adopt practices and policies that are sustainable. There is also the recognition to foster a community commitment and garner the respect of employees.

While a business may have a strong policy toward sustainability if that information is not in the public domain, it won’t impact its ESG profile. Gaps between reality and external perception regarding ESG pose profit and branding risks. Therefore, it is incumbent that your business reports its ESG practices comprehensively, accurately, and timely.

This 4M Performance Leadership Program delves into your business’s current ESG profile. With this information and our guidance, you’ll be able to identify, not only, reality gaps but the actions required to improve the business’s sustainability and social practices.
