SUSTAINABILITY

In today ' s world , everyone – staff , investors , stakeholders and customers – demand meaningful commitment on ESG compliance . Yet , ESG can be a grey area . A report from SaaS data , research and technology company Pitchbook suggests there is a deal of variance in investors ’ definitions of what constitutes a sustainable investment – meaning where one sees a legitimate sustainable investment , another might see greenwashing .

But whatever the complexities and grey areas , one thing is certain : ESG has become far more than the nice-to-have option it was not so long ago . Now , businesses are looking to ESG to help deliver competitive advantage in a tumultuous marketplace . ESG was a hot topic at the most recent Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE event , held in London last Autumn . At that event , a discussion of ESG issues teased out many insights and advice on the subject .
