This week we're joined by Author & Managing Director of ESG’s & Sustainability at Grant Thornton, John Friedman.

John has spent a career working in sustainability and has an uncanny ability to break down the importance of sustainability and the ESGs in a way that’s easy for everyone to understand, while highlighting the uncomfortable truth’s we must work to address. His recent book, Managing Sustainability: First Steps to First Class is also available online.

By definition:

 “Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria are a set of standards for a company’s operations that socially conscious investors use to screen potential investments. Environmental criteria consider how a company performs as a steward of nature. Social criteria examine how it manages relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and the communities where it operates. Governance deals with a company’s leadership, executive pay, audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights.”

Tune in for a wonderful conversation with John and you’ll come away knowing more about the ESGs and the critical importance they must play in our future.
