Description

The fight to improve human rights, address climate change, improve labour conditions and fight corruption has led to growing regulatory requirements and market pressure. Enterprises are continuously navigating new policies, standards, laws, and regulations that are driving them to change their ways of doing business. Reputation, and therefore bottom line business results, increasingly hinges on pledges to minimize carbon emissions, progress toward the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) or commitments to investing using Economic, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. Across industries and continents, corporate leaders are embracing the need to transform a global economy founded on an idea of unlimited access to resources to one that recognizes the limits and consequences of everything we extract, manufacture, and consume. This requires a concerted effort across organizational stakeholder groups, and IT can play a key role.
