INTRODUCTION
Businesses are seeing a consistent increase in pressure from investors, employees, customers, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and numerous other stakeholders to increase transparency on sustainable and socially responsible practices, articulated through Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting. Your business, like every other business, is deeply inter-twined with ESG concerns. In today’s ever-evolving world, debating whether to incorporate sustainability into your business strategy is no longer an option. Considering a values-driven approach when developing business strategies can be vital to long-term success. It makes sense, therefore, that a strong ESG proposition from your company can create value in meeting the current trends and requirements of ESG reporting. Given this understanding, there is an immediate need for companies to introduce the concepts of sustainability to its stakeholders particularly its management and staff to meet the needs of the global trends in ESG compliance. It is also pertinent to accept that ESG and Sustainability extends beyond your business establishment where the society you operate in, your local government, your supply chain just to name a few.
