Is ESG Implementation Real? Addressing the Awareness Gap

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) compliance has become mandatory for the top 1000 listed companies in India, as per SEBI regulations. While businesses are actively implementing ESG frameworks, a significant issue persists: the key stakeholders are often unaware of what ESG truly entails. This raises a crucial question—if stakeholders do not understand ESG, can its implementation be considered real and effective?

The ESG Awareness Gap

The primary challenge in ESG implementation is the lack of awareness among stakeholders, including employees, investors, suppliers, and even customers. Many perceive ESG as just another compliance requirement rather than a fundamental shift towards sustainable business practices. As a result, ESG initiatives often remain superficial, focused on ticking regulatory checkboxes rather than driving genuine impact.

Where is the Gap?

1. Lack of Education and Training: Most stakeholders do not have a clear understanding of ESG principles, goals, and benefits.
2. Superficial Implementation: Companies implement ESG measures without fully integrating them into their core business strategy.
3. Limited Stakeholder Engagement: ESG efforts often remain confined to boardrooms, with little involvement from employees, customers, and supply chain partners.
4. Short-Term Mindset: Many organizations treat ESG as a short-term regulatory requirement rather than a long-term sustainability strategy.

How to Bridge the Gap?
