Jeannette delves into the topic of ESG (environment, social, and governance) and its significance in today's business landscape, beginning by explaining the meaning of ESG and its relevance to businesses of all sizes. Jeannette also talks about the fact that ESG is not just for large organisations, but also for small and medium-sized enterprises, highlighting the growing number of companies embracing ESG and the positive impact it has on customers, employees, profits, and investment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• ESG is not limited to large organisations. 67% of private owned businesses and 79% of venture capital or private equity backed businesses have adopted an ESG agenda.
• Embracing ESG can have a positive impact on customers, employees, profits, and investment. 88% of consumers are more loyal to companies with a strong ESG focus, and companies with strong ESG policies have 14% higher employee satisfaction.
• Addressing climate change is crucial for businesses, as 80% of the world's largest companies report exposure to climate-related risks. Climate-related weather events are projected to cost businesses $1.3 trillion by 2026.
• ESG can affect operating profits by as much as 60%. By adopting ESG practices, businesses can unlock opportunities worth $12 trillion and generate 380 million jobs if the UN Sustainability Development Goals are achieved.
