There is growing scrutiny on the ethics of consumption and investment. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors are increasingly shaping strategy as consumers buy from, and work for, businesses that reflect their own values. Investors are more discerning, refusing to invest in those who can't demonstrate ethical behaviour. And stakeholders are demanding activity that reflects corporate social responsibility on a wide variety of issues from sustainability to social inequality.
But many businesses are unsure where to start in order to address these issues. A lack of quality data and standardisation can have a detrimental effect on progress, and the good intentions of the C-suite can be paralysed by a fear of getting it wrong and suffering reputational damage. Dire climate predictions have prompted new legal requirements for leaders to meet, while they face greater scrutiny on whether they're actually making a difference or simply "greenwashing".
