The series includes thematic insights highlighted during in-depth, face-to-face interviews with 60+ senior leaders across a diverse range of sectors.

We outline insights garnered during our conversations, look at how leading organisations are embracing the move to more sustainable ways of operating, investigate opportunities in the supply chain and leadership, and finish with a view of the future.

Embracing ESG opportunities

In the first report of our ESG Ignite series, we learn that those organisations that are not environmentally conscious, socially aware and strongly led risk severe reputational, regulatory and financial damage.

We explore the opportunities that an ESG-focused approach affords and learn that that everything you do as an organisation has the potential not only to make a positive impact, but also to enhance your long-term sustainability environmentally, socially and financially as well.

Interpreting the acronym

In the second report of our ESG Ignite series, we learn that the scope of ESG can differ between organisations based on the industry, business makeup and corporate priorities. Each organisation faces their own, often competing, ESG opportunities and challenges.

Our research suggests senior leaders are committed to updating their knowledge of reducing their organisation’s environmental impact. Many are still focusing on potential significant wins to protect natural resources rather than getting into the details of completely refining their processes.

Supply chain ESG: the sustainability connection

Our third report reveals the greatest supply chain concerns of senior leaders and concludes by providing five key pieces of practical advice for businesses to build a robust supply chain.

Organisations need to collaborate to find solutions to ensure that the supply chains upon which we all depend are sustainable and responsible. This report will be useful in considering your organisation’s environmental impact, social awareness and governance throughout your supply chain.

Measuring, reporting and communicating your story

This fourth report in our ESG Ignite series reveals the key issues affecting measuring, reporting and communications within the ESG landscape.

It reveals how organisations are adapting before providing two guides: the first is focused on standards and frameworks, and the other is dedicated to communication. Using these frameworks and getting this right from the start can help you set the foundations of organisational success and credibility.

Sparking momentum

This fifth and final report in our ESG Ignite series reveals what senior leaders are excited about and how they’re unlocking innovation. It looks at where they’re coming up against blockers in translating their strategic ideas into everyday action and what they can do to alleviate competing
challenges.
