ESG, Climate Change, and Building Future Ready Organizations

The current decade represents the last window of opportunity to secure mankind’s future, according to available scientific evidence. It is high time businesses across the globe woke up to the reality of climate change and its impact on human activities at micro, meso and macro levels.

We might still be able to abate climate change if individual and collective behavioral changes are made and eco-friendly lifestyles are adopted. And if we don’t act immediately, not just humanity, but all life on planet earth is at risk of extinction.

Hence, it is critical for everyone to understand the current climate state and how businesses across the globe contribute to global warming and climate change. Organizations today can become benchmarks for sustainable practices by leveraging the current environmental, social, and governance (ESG) regulatory framework. In addition to fulfilling their climate responsibilities, they will gain competitive advantage as innovators and first movers. Therefore, practitioners are encouraged to see regulations not as obstacles to overcome, but rather as opportunities for business growth.
