Incorporating sustainability into your business
For a considerable time, leaders have recognized that the metrics we employ influence our actions. Given that ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance is now essential for compliance and business success, it is crucial to establish a clear pathway and assess the tangible business outcomes of sustainability efforts.
Notably, stakeholders favor companies showcasing value creation and impact while aligning with sustainable development goals. Organization maintaining consistently high ESG performance tended to achieve a higher total shareholder return compared to those with moderate ESG performance
While leaders increasingly acknowledge the necessity of gauging the impact of ESG on their businesses, many encounter challenges in implementing the appropriate measures.
Technology serves as the essential facilitator of sustainability
In response to escalating calls for change from consumers, investors, regulators, and their own workforce, contemporary business leaders are placing sustainability at the forefront of their priorities. Achieving the promise of sustainable technology, however, demands proactive engagement from Chief Information Officers (CIOs). This entails establishing a collaborative partnership with other executives to meticulously identify technologies that align with and contribute to the company's sustainability goals.
Moreover, CIOs play a pivotal role in not only adopting sustainable technologies but also in addressing the environmental and social ramifications associated with these technological advancements. This multifaceted approach requires a comprehensive understanding of the broader impacts of technology, going beyond immediate operational considerations. By actively considering and mitigating environmental and social implications, CIOs contribute significantly to the overall sustainability strategy of the organization.
