ESG is here to stay, and questions abound.
Does my company understand its roles in ESG performance? Are we integrating ESG into our operations or simply focused on the next sustainability report? What’s considered material data for our company? What metrics and goals should we be using? Is leadership committed to ESG? Is the rest of the organization embracing it?
Across the energy sector, some companies are just beginning their ESG journey. Others have already begun integrating new practices and technologies into operations and are executing on stretch goals.
While there’s no silver bullet for ESG success, there are principles for reaching the objectives most important to your company.
