Sustainability & ESG

While the two terms are very similar, they are not interchangeable. It is important to understand the difference between ‘sustainability’ and ‘ESG’.

ESG refers to measurable and transparent goals of a business in its deliberate implementation of sustainable environmental, social and governance (ESG) responsibilities. Often, ESG within a business is disclosed to its stakeholders and the media in annual reports, often accompanying financial reports, where metrics support the goals. An ESG profile and report is increasingly imperative for investors, customers, suppliers and employees—and as of 2023, an essential element in securing loans and approvals from the finance industry and governmental compliance.
→ You operate your business on the principle that your actions affect your earth and its people. You decide that all parts of your business will implement solar panels to offset the power grid burden of your business to meet the goal of zero carbon emissions by 2040.

Sustainability, on the other hand, is a broad term referring to any practice within a business or organisation to do ‘good’ in its efforts to lower its impact on the environment—print less paper, use less water bottles. Most corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts fall within this category.
→ You print less paper because paper is from trees, which is bad.
