The “race to zero”, the technological advancements in artificial intelligence, and attendant ethical considerations weigh heavily on the minds of SMEs and civil society just as these do on the minds of big corporates and governments.
Climate change and adaptation should thus not be treated as an exclusive corporate C-suite and government exigency but a pandemic that enjoins reimagining and commitment to judicious, ethical and inclusive leadership.
This presentation aims to explore the impact of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) on the employment and labour environment, with a special focus on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and ethical entrepreneurship.
As ESG factors become increasingly important for businesses, SMEs must also consider the impact of their actions on the environment, society, and governance to ensure sustainable growth. The presentation will examine the challenges faced by SMEs in implementing ESG practices and the potential benefits of doing so.
Furthermore, this presentation will discuss the role that different stakeholders such as corporates, universities, municipalities, and other institutions can play in supporting SMEs in implementing ESG practices.
In sum, the presentation will argue that SMEs have a crucial role to play in promoting justice in energy transition and mitigation; sustainable growth; and positive impact on the employment and labour environment through impactful ESGs.
Putting wellbeing and health at the heart of sustainability projects is crucial to building the people-planet-profit culture that organisations will be expected to demonstrate in the coming years. ESGs are a key enabler.
Climate action demands translation of ideas, policies and strategies into bold, innovative, inclusive, just, ethical, and sustainable action.
.
The “race to zero” and the imperatives for justice in energy transition – an analysis of ESGs and the small medium enterprises ecosystem.
initiatives are some of the small but practical ways we pursue to demystify sustainability as an exclusively C-suite exigency.
