The ESG agenda is evolving, and most organisations are facing growing expectations from customers, employees, investors and partners for reporting transparency, tangible actions, and credible outcomes. There is also a wave of regulation coming from multiple jurisdictions, which is increasing the need for those that have, perhaps, not prioritised ESG reporting to focus on it more.
Roles and responsibilities are changing within the typical enterprise, with a palpable shift of focus from understanding sustainability to overcoming challenges and delivering the transformation needed to be a leader in a more sustainable economy.
But with challenges also come opportunities to create long-term value and competitive advantages across capital access, valuation, operational efficiency, brand reputation, risk mitigation, growth, innovation, talent, etc.
With all of this in mind, how should CFOs prioritise ESG? We believe the focus should be put on a few key areas, which we explore below.
We believe the modern CFO should help to drive their organisation towards a Sustainable future through transforming Finance capabilities.
