Harvard Law’s ESG Trends to Watch in 2023 stated “If 2022 was the year that many ESG issues assumed a refined focus, then 2023 may be the year that corporate ESG efforts are seriously tested”
Indeed, as we navigate increased business complexity and disruption, the temptation arises to deprioritize attention to Economic, Social and Governance (ESG) factors, in lieu of cutting costs and addressing more immediate market and financial risks.
But this could prove to be a grave mistake.
Investor and regulatory pressures are taking hold, as we’ve seen major players like Coca-Cola and Deutsche Bank’s asset management arm already feel the consequences of ‘greenwashing’ and ‘greenhushing’. What's more, the brand damage has been significant and has caused nervousness to ripple across the markets.
Of course, ESG is more than a simple matter of compliance, it’s an opportunity for organizations to demonstrate commitment to sustainable and ethical practices — factors increasingly demanded not just by regulators and investors, but also by consumers and employees.
So, given the potential penalties, brand damage, and desire to operate ethically, why do organizations find it so difficult to gather, analyze, and report on ESG data?
