Ep 17- Is ESG the new CSR?

In this episode we dive head first into the pond that is ESG, better known as Environmental, Social and Governance.

So what exactly is ESG? The airwaves are full of it, Boardrooms are awash with it, but no-one really knows how to account for it, and we’re all having to learn how to talk about it in terms that suit our organisations.

We liken ESG to an ECG, the scan that tracks our vital organ to check all is well, hopefully resulting in a clean bill of health.  The analogy holds for organisations - if the scan detects anomalies, we require treatment or interventions.  So too do companies if the scan picks something up.

But what interventions and treatments work best?  Who prescribes them? And who says when you’re well? 

And does it look into the corporate soul? More on that later in this episode.
