ESG strategies can build trust, drive sustainable value

Organisations can help to build trust and deliver sustained outcomes by implementing effective environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies and stakeholders tend to place more trust in organisations that demonstrate a sustained interest in communities, the environment and good governance, says assurance, advisory and tax services multinational PwC Africa ESG Africa leader Jayne Mammatt. "Increasingly, stakeholders of all kinds hold organisations accountable for delivering sustainable value. They expect organisations to do more than simply ‘tick a box’," she adds.
