Sustainability is becoming one of the most important issues that have to be addressed by companies due to various reasons- regulations, customers expectations, financial benefits, risk mitigation, public relations etc. Sustainability, also referred as ESG, has three main different aspects- Environmental, Social, Governance.

Companies realize that they must address these issues, but might straggle with best practices and “get lost” when they face hundreds of different standards, frameworks, labels and ratings. The correct approach would be to start establishing a “sustainability strategy” that meets the organization’s needs.
