In a world where environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns have become paramount, understanding how to effectively manage and report on your ESG performance is now a high priority for most businesses. ESG is not just an acronym, it's a journey towards a sustainable future:

  • Businesses have a responsibility to drive positive societal, environmental, and technological change.
  • Purpose-driven organisations can make a significant impact in a business world that is increasingly focused on sustainability.
  • This will help them differentiate themselves from the competition, attract like-minded clients, investors, and employees, and build a more sustainable and equitable future for all.

At Camms, we're here to assist you through this journey and empower your organisation with the tools and knowledge to drive positive change and achieve your ESG objectives.

Demystifying ESG

ESG is central to building a sustainable, responsible organisation. This term, which emerged from the 2005 UN Global Compact landmark study “Who Cares Wins,” has evolved significantly since then. It now encompasses a broad spectrum of issues, including climate change, environmental performance, employee well-being, diversity and inclusion, data privacy, and ethical business practices. It’s essential to realise that demonstrating commitment to ESG can vary depending on an organisation’s size, global reach, regulatory requirements and the concerns of its leaders and stakeholders.

The Growing Importance of ESG

The upward trajectory of ESG related assets shows no signs of slowing down, with projections suggesting that global ESG assets could reach a staggering $50 trillion by 2025, accounting for one-third of total assets under management worldwide, as reported by Bloomberg Intelligence. This surge continues the momentum from 2020 when ESG assets exceeded $35 trillion. The ESG data and services market is also set to grow, exceeding $4 billion by 2027. Regulatory bodies, such as the European Commission and the US Securities and Exchange Commission, are intensifying global disclosure and reporting requirements, making transparency, standardisation, and integration of ESG reporting essential.

ESG is no longer just a trendy term; it’s a critical consideration for boards, management, investors, customers, and employees.
