I had the opportunity to present to the Firestarter Forum on ESG for SMEs and touch on some of the core considerations. Slides below. A few key points from the discussion

  • That it’s important to demystify ESG as many of the material considerations are already embedded in business processes and approach
  • That there are real opportunities – many companies have already taken important decisions with regards to say the ethics of their supply chains – the opportunity being to better communicate this to clients and customers
  • That it can be difficult to know where to start, but that shouldn’t be a blocker to taking action
  • That ESG has moved from niche to normal.
