Introduction
In today’s dynamic and competitive business environment, the role of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) has shifted from being an optional practice to a critical driver of organisational resilience and sustainability. Increasingly, investors, regulators, employees, and communities are paying closer attention to how organisations address climate impact, social responsibility, and governance integrity. Companies that embrace ESG not only gain stronger stakeholder trust but also enhance their ability to innovate, manage risks, and secure long-term growth.
