Why should we implement ESG initiatives
Under EU Regulations, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is becoming codified in Ireland this year so companies must give this serious consideration. Implementing ESG initiatives is crucial for businesses, organizations, and society as a whole for several reasons:
Environmental benefits: ESG initiatives can help reduce the negative impact that businesses have on the environment. For example, reducing energy and water consumption, minimizing waste, and adopting sustainable production practices can help businesses reduce their carbon footprint and mitigate their impact on natural resources.
