Sustainability Sleuths
Have you ever wondered...
- Why is there so much plastic in your product packaging?
- Where does the fabric for your clothes come from? And who made it?
We have been growing more concerned over the years about the unsustainable practices of some companies—especially those raking in profits without thinking about their impact on the planet or people.
As a sustainability sleuth it’s your mission to investigate one of the crib companies, uncover their sustainability practices and detect any weaknesses.
So What is ESG?
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. It is a framework used to measure the sustainability and ethical impact of a company. Investors are increasingly interested in ESG as Companies who prioritise ESG are more likely to do well in the future and therefore make more money for the Investor. Let’s Break it down…
Environmental (E)
A company’s impact on the planet—This can be their waste, emissions, energy use, and climate action. What steps have they taken to become more environmentally friendly?
Social (S)
Their treatment of people—fairness, diversity, and community impact. How are their workers treated, how are they paid and what does their workforce look like?
Governance (G)
How it’s run—ethical decisions, transparency, and accountability. What is the diversity like on their boards and have there been any controversies?
