For those not familiar, what does ESG mean for a business? Adopting ESG principles means that corporate strategy focuses on the three pillars of - the environment, social, and governance. This means taking measures to lower pollution, CO2 output, and reduce waste. It also means having a diverse and inclusive workforce, - at the entry-level and all the way up to the board of directors. ESG may be costly and time- consuming to undertake but can also be rewarding into the
future for those that carry it through.
How can you make the changes to support your environmental goals? So what can you do? Look at your suppliers and their credentials, ask the right questions when considering your own supply lines. If purchasing products, what are they made from, is there a sustainable alternative. Are they safe, are they 100% recycled or partly recycled, are they recyclable or reusable, are they biodegradable, or compostable even? Where have they come from, how have they been transported, how will you or your customers dispose of them? Look at your internal processes, how can you reuse or recycle, if manufacturing, can you create a circular economy? Can your business save water, use electric vehicles, transfer to a green tariff for your energy provider? Look at how you can support your environment locally, even if it’s litter picking, tree planting, cleaning up the water ways and beaches. These are simple actions you can start doing today when it comes to creating your own environmental strategy to tackle climate change, they all add up. Everything you do matters to change the outcome in eight years’ time.
