ESG & Sustainability Services
Understanding ESG and Sustainability
ESG is an umbrella term that encompasses a range of criteria used to evaluate a company’s operations and performance beyond financial metrics:
- Environmental: a company’s interactions with the environment, including but not limited to climate change
- Social: a company’s interactions with employees, suppliers, customers, and communities
- Governance: how a company is governed, including its governance of sustainability-related risks and opportunities, and the transparency of its governance
In business, an organisation’s broader dependencies on society and the environment, may give rise to risks or opportunities for the business model. Sustainability-related considerations are not only a matter for large ASX listed companies and government departments. Considering ESG or sustainability related matters as part of business strategy or operations builds resilience.
In reporting, sustainability is now quickly replacing the term ESG. This is part of a shift in the Australian corporate landscape in which “sustainability-related financial information” becomes part of the expected information provided for decision making and investment. This information about sustainability-related risks and opportunities, including ESG topics beyond climate-change, is relevant or useful for assessing the current and future prospects of a business.
How HongShine can help you
