Helping you achieve your ESG goals for 2023

Environmental, social, and governance – the three tenets of ESG – are rapidly climbing up the corporate agenda worldwide. Your business is going to face questions about how you’re protecting your people and the planet, as well as the commitment you’re making to doing business fairly and responsibly. Here we provide a forecast of some of the key ESG issues you need to be aware of over the next twelve months. With economic uncertainty continuing, you’ll need to consider how to protect colleagues and stakeholders while handling inflation, energy costs and supply chain issues. The scrapping of EU laws this year may also require organisations to make some swift changes as new regulations are agreed. To keep attracting new clients and talent, you’ll need to make sure your company maintains a reputation for doing business in an inclusive and sustainable way. As well as government targets around biodiversity and energy efficiency, individual consumers are scrutinising whether companies’ green credentials truly reflect their behaviour and values. Those found to be misleading customers risk severe reputational damage in the press and on social media, as well as financial and legal penalties. Our experts can help you anticipate and navigate these challenges. We explain what steps your business needs to take to remain compliant with upcoming ESG legislation, and what the long-term benefits are of doing business responsibly.

We hope you find this a useful tool to help you identify and plan for changes over the coming year.
