In recent years, ESG has become crucial as a framework for assessing the sustainability and societal impact of businesses. On 5 January 2023, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) came into force, with the first disclosures for ESG impacts coming into effect under the CSRD in 2024… meaning it’s no longer enough for companies to focus solely on financial performance; they must also consider their environmental footprint, their social responsibilities and the quality of their governance practices. Whilst this might not affect businesses of your size (yet), it’s a perfect time to get ahead and start laying the groundwork.

During our breakout session, we’ll look at the core principles of ESG and take a look at a concept that is not only affecting how businesses operate, but also has the potential to redefine their role in society. It’s a concept that goes beyond profits and losses, but turns a focus to responsibility, sustainability and ethics.

We’ll guide you through practical steps to help initiate your own ESG journey, that mitigates risk, enhances brand reputation and helps attract talent.
