Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy is creating new challenges and opportunities for leaders to create sustainable, inclusive growth. Successful companies are implementing ESG strategies that increase financial, societal, and environmental impact as well as ensure long-term competitiveness. Achieving bold ambitions requires understanding current state performance and sector trends, managing diverse stakeholder interests, valuing risks and opportunities, and setting distinctive and measurable goals that build capabilities and broaden impact.
