As the world looks to COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan to advance the policies needed to deliver deep, rapid and sustained emission reductions to limit global warming to 1.5⁰C, finance is set to be a central focus. This “Finance COP” (as it has been dubbed) looks to establish a new framework aimed at closing the persistent gaps in climate finance, and will also be an opportunity to have critical discussions on the role of financial institutions in accelerating climate action.

ESG principles have gained significant traction in recent years, but the conversation surrounding them continues to be clouded in misunderstanding. The prevailing notion that “starting with anything that looks like sustainability” will suffice has led startups and investors astray.

In a business world urgently focused on sustainability, organisations are discovering the limits of their ability to create meaningful progress alone. More than ever, senior leaders need to develop the vision, will, and skill to create radical collaborations – they need to start joining forces with their competitors.

We have many problems in the sustainability industry. I remember the days when finding data was like going on a scavenger hunt that often resulted in nothing. We used search engines to look for specific data and statistics, but the ESG specific terminology that can be used by different industries and in different contexts, usually resulted in irrelevant search results.

Over the past ten years, the concept of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) has become mainstream for businesses in many industries. While the environmental (especially climate change) and governance aspects were spearheading the ESG movement, the ‘S’ or social is now quickly catching up. The social aspect of ESG covers a range of factors related to the company’s interaction with society, employees, customers and other stakeholders.
