We see that climate change, loss of biodiversity, adverse impacts on human well-being, political unrest and economic shortcomings have enormous costs. Turning the significant risk of costs in today’s world into real opportunities isn’t simple, but a pathway. Collaboration between people and shared values can turn negative impacts in positive outcomes. How can it be achieved? For companies, there is no alternative other than the right management of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) risks. Management of short-, mid- and long-term risks can support decisions for more resilient and sustainable development.
