ESG (environmental, social and governance) was created by investors who want to invest in a socially responsible way. Meanwhile, more and more companies want to account for these factors and thus contribute to significant social change. This need not be at the expense of profitability, as companies that embrace ESG aspects are becoming increasingly popular.
Companies can use this to differentiate themselves from competitors and strengthen their long-term value creation. It is therefore good for every company to consider what it can contribute in terms of ESG.

This requires careful and complex decision-making by companies, which we are happy to help with.
