Peggy Smedley and Matt Sekol, sustainability industry advocate, Microsoft, define ESG (environment, social, and governance) and talk about where it is today. He says ESG refers to the material risks and opportunities around environmental, social, and corporate governance, often in the pursuit of this long-term resilience and growth.
They also discuss:
- The nuances between ESG and other topics such as sustainability, climate change, and DE&I.
- When the tipping point occurred, and the challenges faced in the past few years.
- The importance of breaking down data silos responsibly with principles still in mind—and how to do this.
- Two examples in concrete and automotive manufacturing.
