Today, key stakeholders expect companies to conduct business in a Sustainable manner; attentive to the company’s positive and negative impact on the Environment, Social structure, and Governance process (ESG). Such sustainability considerations are not just for large companies, but businesses of all sizes in all sectors.
This session will:
- Help attendees better understand ESG context, terminology, approaches, and applications.
- Present the potential benefits associated with integrating ESG into a small business model, such as a more resilient supply chain, establishing ESG criteria for product/service development and vendor selection, attracting customers, partners and employees, and brand enhancement in the marketplace.
- Discuss the initial steps a small business can take to begin the process of strategically integrating and reporting ESG impacts and outcomes.
