Why ESG for business is more important now than ever? Top keynote speakers for your next event.

You've surely noticed by now that days, when corporations could do whatever they wanted and not be held accountable, are long gone. Today, companies are trying to develop a culture that encourages all employees and other stakeholders to save energy, cut costs, reduce waste and enhance other environmental factors. Why? It's simple - sustainability benefits corporations!  The concept of corporate social responsibility is a very broad strategy with many actions that can be implemented in your business strategy. A company interested in environmental, social, and corporate governance approach pays attention to local communities, the natural environment, and its employees.

From a social perspective, issues such as corporate labor practices, talent management, product safety, and data security are discussed. If you look at the whole thing from a corporate governance perspective, special attention is given to board diversity, executive compensation, and business ethics, which are considered an integral part of a company's sustainability program.

One thing is certain, ESG is a critical responsibility for all companies, regardless of the size or the industry.  If you're planning an event where the topic of ESG will be discussed, you came to the right place.
