In a COVID-19 environment, ‘S’ has been dragged into the
spotlight and will now attract significantly greater attention from
investors than it has to date. ‘S’ will now clearly be an element of
the corporate story and a prominent pillar of a company’s ESG
credentials. Companies must grasp the meaning and implications
of a strong ‘S’ and the need to communicate activity and progress
to all stakeholders. Does it work with suppliers that hold the same
values as it claims to hold? Does the company donate a percentage
of its profits to the local community or encourage employees to
perform volunteer work there? Do the company’s working conditions
show high regard for its employees’ health and safety? Are other
stakeholders’ interests taken into account?
“Businesses need to be open about
their ESG pedigree in order to
win investment”
