What do we need to focus on for implementation and maximisation of impact:
Governance serves as a key driver of ESG, laying the foundation for accountability and ethical decision-making. The shift toward integrated strategy highlights the importance of adopting innovative and more circular business models that align with long-term sustainability goals. Both global and local policy and regulation frameworks play a critical role in shaping sustainability & ESG practices and compliance. Climate change remains a central concern, demanding urgent action and strategic alignment. Accurate and transparent reporting is essential for credibility and trust. Managing impact through Monitoring, Evaluation, and Verification (MEV) requires a move from purely quantitative to more qualitative approaches—ensuring sustainability & ESG efforts are measured effectively while minimizing greenwashing and emphasizing the true evaluation of real, lasting impact.
