In this week's episode of the Emajin Golf Podcast, Beyond the 19th, we catch up with Millie Swan, Managing Director of Compliance ESG, on how important it is to embed compliance in your business and the power of the Third Way philosophy.

ESG, Environmental, Social, and Governance is a framework used to evaluate a company's operations and performance in the three areas. Millie, a sociologist, has over 30 years of experience working locally and globally in corporate compliance and environment social government processes and shares the ESG vast challenges and opportunities of competitive advantage. Millie's key headlines for businesses:

• ESG commitments and considerations must be integrated into the business strategy to effect change and achieve long-term commitment
• It is critical to keep up to date with the regulatory complexity, data collection, and reporting - audits are conducted by a 3rd party to ensure authentic ESG compliance
• ESG compliance enhances reputation risk mitigation, attracts investment, and enables operational efficiency

Millie's organisation. ESG Compliance is a team of leading qualified professionals and experts in ESG. Recently, the team produced a book, "Compliance is not a Dirty Word," designed to assist businesses in navigating the ESG complexities with practical advice and content. 

We learn that Millie is drawn to the Third Way philosophy, particularly the collaborative process of achieving better outcomes for the workplace, environment, and community.

Full of energy and enthusiasm, Millie shares her journey from Esso Oil and Gastro Pubs to major-impacting social housing reporting. Of course, in balance, she shares her four-ball dream team and the much-needed cold boutique beer that awaits her at the 19th hole.

Enjoy and hear how quickly the power of influence and negotiation started.
