Environmental, social & governance
Profits no longer are the only metric of enterprise performance and investor confidence. The environmental and social impact that it creates are assuming greater relevance. The concept of triple bottom line espoused in 1998 by John Ellington in his work “Cannibals with Forks, the Triple Bottom Line of 21st Century Business”, introduced two more P’s to be considered for the valuation of companies – People and Planet in addition to Profit. Environmental, Social & Governance or ESG has evolved since then to its current form and is today an organisational imperative and in fact, a mandate.
We understand that Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations are now at the forefront of global business strategies. With a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, investors and stakeholders demand greater transparency, ethical business practices, and sustainable growth. Our ESG Advisory and Consulting vertical is designed to help organizations navigate these complexities, unlock opportunities, and drive impactful change.
