Quotes:
“We’re not going to stop hearing about ESG,… it’s moving faster than I have ever seen previously.”
“As companies are starting or part way through their ESG journey, it gives everyone a chance to reset and to create processes from the ground up that are really intentional and focus on the right information to produce sustainability-related information for investors.”
“Take away the regulatory requirements, and ESG is reviewing how you operate as an organization and implementing ESG factors to be better off as an entity.”
“When we talk to clients about ESG, the starting point is to talk about what they already do.”
“You can’t think of these things in isolation. You have to be thinking about sustainability, reporting, and financial reporting as a package.”
“Start with small pieces, but have a full picture of where you eventually want to go.”
