Putting ESG at the Heart of Your Strategy

Climate change, sustainability and the societal impact of business are now all crucial matters for organisations. Non-executives tell Emma Carroll how they are leading on ESG in the boardroom.

Featuring commentary from:

Tania Cabrera, Relationship Manager, NEDs, Criticaleye: Boards that are clear about their purpose and use it to shape their strategy are one step ahead when it comes to ESG.

Elizabeth Corley, Chair, Impact Investing Institute: It's not a choice of financial performance or ESG performance – the two are increasingly side by side now in terms of investor expectations.

Steven Cooper, Chair, Experian UK: Looking at social mobility, why wouldn’t you open your organisation up the widest possible talent pool for future employees?

Stewart Gilliland, Chair, C&C Group: We're clear that this is absolutely fundamental to our strategy. So, we should get on with the things that are important to us and start measuring them.

Robin R. Sanders, NED, SGI and VGG & Board Mentor, Criticaleye: We brought employees in to share their voice in a session with the Board. It’s been a really useful way to have a two-way dialogue.
