13th UIA Annual Business Law Forum
Why is ESG so important for businesses?
More and more companies take ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) standards into account in their business strategies. Global trends clearly show that businesses are no longer evaluated only on the basis of their financial results. Nowadays, such standards are key to the value of growing businesses, customer relations, broader business environment, and to helping strengthen the entrepreneur’s image as a responsible business. ESG standards are being internalized and becoming important values not only for companies themselves but also for investors, partners, lenders, customers, and current and future employees.
