ESG encompasses Environmental, Social, and Governance dimensions, representing a paradigm where non-financial factors have become equally pivotal to corporate value creation as traditional financial performance indicators. Companies must therefore transition from traditional management paradigms centered exclusively on financial value maximization to cultivate both financial and non-financial value creation.
Organizations that neglect ESG management will face multifaceted risks spanning operational challenges, credit rating downgrades, and regulatory compliance issues. This will ultimately result in the erosion of trust from key stakeholders including investors, customers, partners, and society at large.
