The imperative to incorporate ESG factors has been growing, with increased focus on the need for change to ensure a sustainable future. As businesses navigate changes brought in by globalization, technology, and society and consumer behavior, companies need to embrace ESG as a strategic business imperative to drive long-term value. ESG has the potential to revamp how successful organizations plan, implement, and operate.

It is important to look at how ESG creates value for companies and their stakeholders, which include communities, employees, governments, investors, regulators, and suppliers. While ESG is gaining importance with the growing focus of the role of global economies on sustainable development, reducing carbon footprint, and meeting beneficial social and environmental goals, investors will closely assess ESG factors in identifying the impact or role of potential investments.
