Companies face increasing pressure from governments, competitors, and employees to play a leading role in addressing a wide array of environmental, social, and governance issues existing in their Supply Chains. It could range from climate change to obesity to human rights. For the past 30 years, companies have responded by developing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) or Sustainability initiatives to fulfill their societal contract by addressing these issues.
However, gathering the data needed to justify sustained, strategic investment in programs can be difficult. Yet, without this information, executives and investors often see programs as separate from a company’s core business or unrelated to its shareholder value. While there are companies that have made progress tracking operational metrics or social indicators, they have difficulty linking such metrics and indicators to a real financial impact.
Needless to say, there are companies that are creating great value through the environmental, social, and governance activities. Increased sales, decreased costs, and reduced risks are being achieved. Environmental, social, and governance programs can create value in many other ways. We just need to know where and how.
This presentation discusses the 4 dynamic ways environmental, social, and governance programs can create value.
1. Growth
2. Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)
3. Risk Management
4. Management Excellence
Companies that have generated great value have developed hard data and CSR dashboards to measure the long-term and indirect value of environmental, social and governance programs.
