Organizations are under increasing pressure to define and disclose an ESG/sustainability strategy. This is coming from internal leadership and employees, but also external investors, creditors, policy makers, supply chain partners, and consumers. This presents many challenges and requires internal competencies to adopt a strategy that adds value to the organization.

First, it is crucial to establish a governance body responsible for ESG/sustainability. Second, that group of leaders need a firm understanding of their business’ unique drivers and challenges so they can sift through the “alphabet soup” of ESG/sustainability frameworks, standards, and rating agencies. As you continue, it becomes critical to research performance requirements and expectations of key stakeholders so you can set targets, implement improvements, and disclose progress. Finally, you may need to develop competencies for achieving bold visions in specific areas like climate action, diversity and inclusion, or a myriad of relevant environmental, social, and governance issues.
