Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

Value creation journey

As a result of a rapidly increasing global focus on broad ESG issues by governments, the private sector and the public over the past few years, a trend exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have witnessed a major shift towards a better understanding of climate change, sustainability and other ESG issues. Companies and organisations are looking to identify and respond to their ESG risks and opportunities. Active management of ESG issues can directly impact the bottom line as well as a company’s reputation and social licence to operate. Our range of services will help you better understand the ESG value creation journey and how PwC can assist you to fulfill your ESG needs.

Focusing on ESG is about value preservation (at a minimum) and value creation by optimising the use of key business drivers and capitals in your company. Inaction can therefore lead to value destruction.

An ESG strategy informs your overall objectives and plans while your corporate ESG framework will set out the way in which ESG factors will be incorporated into your operations and the direct actions that you’ll take to address ESG risks and opportunities.
