?? Why does ESG Matter for Business Success? ??
I'm Emma McNicholas, Regional Director at OOBE in Newcastle. Let's explore something more than just a trend but a significant catalyst for businesses: ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) policies.
So what's the deal with ESG? ??
At OOBE, we're all about empowering our clients to embrace ESG principles. Here's how we make it happen:
1. Sustainable Design Solutions: At OOBE Ltd we craft landscape designs which prioritise native plants, with efficient irrigation, and green infrastructure, not only reducing environmental impact but also saving on costs.
2. Community Engagement and Inclusivity: We believe in engaging with local communities to ensure that inclusivity and social responsibility are at the core of our projects.
3. Resilience and Climate Adaptation: Our designs prepare our clients for future challenges and the changing climate.
4. Sustainable Materials: We're all about advising clients on using sustainable and eco-friendly materials, and promoting responsible sourcing for the benefit of the environment.
So, why does ESG matter? ??
?? Minimising Risks: ESG helps businesses spot and manage potential environmental, social, and governance risks, keeping surprises at bay.
?? Building Trust: Strong ESG policies earn trust and goodwill, retaining existing customers and attracting new ones.
?? Financial Benefits: ESG makes your business more attractive to investors, ensuring you secure the capital you need.
?? Efficiency & Savings: Beyond doing good, ESG improves efficiency and cuts costs.
?? Encourage Innovation: ESG drives creative solutions to social and environmental challenges.
