Every business by virtue of its mere existence will have an impact – positive and negative – on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. It should, therefore, make sense to businesses that paying attention to ESG factors has the potential to create value and, by ignoring them, has the potential to erode value.
Join us for this Business Support Series with Nancy Foran, President and Founder of ESG Partners who will walk attendees through an introduction to ESG, the various frameworks that exist for integrating sustainability into business strategy and operations, and why it's as important for businesses in the start-up phase as it is for publicly-traded companies to consider ESG criteria throughout their decision making.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) refers to the three criteria central in measuring the long-term sustainability and societal impact of a company. ESG is fast becoming the lens through which investors — not to mention consumers, employees and other stakeholders — make decisions about how to spend their money and time.
ESG offers an objective, globally recognized approach to use in decision-making to ensure the risks and opportunities facing companies are fully understood.
Organizations looking to gain a competitive advantage are integrating ESG and sustainability metrics into their strategies to gain better insight into their operations, strengthen engagement with stakeholders, more fully assess risks and opportunities, and to drive innovation.
With over 25 years of experience, Nancy has successfully focused her career on growth and diversification at the executive level, creating opportunities for social change while delivering economic value.
Nancy has significant international experience, and has worked with organizations, governments and agencies at all levels to understand what drives success. She creates meaningful partnerships while developing innovative strategies and sustainable solutions. She has worked in regulatory settings and has navigated national and international complex, multi-stakeholder environments,
Nancy is a Chartered Professional Accountant and a fellow of the profession (CPA, FCPA), a Chartered Director (C. Dir.), and pursuing the GRI and SASB certifications. This combination of education and experience allow her to advise companies, boards of directors, and senior leadership teams on material ESG factors that drive long-term value.
