Download a PDF of this article

In a four-part series, FTI Consulting’s Strategic Communications experts delve deeper into how, specifically, organizations and management teams can ACTION their ESG efforts to remain ahead of the curve and best equipped to weather any storms in the future.

There is no doubt that we live in a dynamic, evolving and unpredictable world – and COVID-19 has made it all the more real. Today’s investors are being confronted with tougher investment decisions and more complex risk profiles, both of which they need to analyse when choosing which assets to invest in. And when making these decisions, ESG investment considerations are increasingly taking centre stage.

The term ESG identifies three core pillars which are made up of Environmental, Social and Governance factors, all of which are used to assess a business, the standards it represents and its sustainability performance. Once this information has been gathered, it can be embedded into an investment process to help decide which investments are closely aligned to the ESG ethos of having a positive longterm impact on the planet and its inhabitants, combined with the potential to deliver a strong financial performance.
