Environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities have moved to the top of the agenda for many organizations. Carter teams can help organizations address sustainability issues, and investor concerns, support ESG reporting and disclosures and improve ESG performance.

Investors, regulators and stakeholders across society are increasingly demanding greater transparency from organizations on ESG and sustainability performance to help assess long-term value. To meet stakeholder demands, organizations should broaden the scope of their reporting and seek new ways of communicating strategic performance with both nonfinancial and financial metrics.

Organizations are increasingly prioritizing their ESG and sustainability responsibilities. They appreciate that paying attention to the longer term, stakeholder perceptions, and the social and environmental consequences of their operations can be good for business as well as the planet.
