Sustainability is an increasingly important priority in today’s business and consumer world – and understandably so. Although sustainability isn’t a new concept, its integration into daily business practices is prevalent, and important to shareholders, investors, customers, and employees.
Global environmental, social, and governance (ESG) has become a set of guiding sustainability principles for larger, publicly traded companies across the nation. Once considered aspirational for the business community, ESG is now a critical component of business decision making. This shift represents the impact of these initiatives to not only the business community, but to consumers and the workforce.
