Businesses have realized that ESG is no longer a mere alternative but an imperative to be embedded into Corporate Strategy. ESG has emerged as a driving force for building resilient strategies that can future-proof the businesses and the first steps that the corporate leaders can take to prepare for this monumental paradigm shift is to recognize & understand the entire philosophy and principles of ESG.

ESG – KEY TO SUSTAINABLE BUSINESSES“Every company and every industry will be transformed by the transition to a net zero world. The question is, will you lead, or will you be led?”

– Larry Fink
Chairman & CEO, Black Rock

It is necessary to put company’s purpose at the core of its relationship with all its stakeholder and once the stakeholders synchronize with the organization’s purpose, they become the staunchest of the advocates causing the creation of long-term value and sustainable business. Hence, it has become necessary for the “Impact leaders” to have a clear vision of the organization’s purpose, a coherent resilient strategy and a long-term view towards value creation.
