ESG is not a fad but an urgent business priority, says IoD
- Date 24 Jan 2022
The Institute of Directors is today publishing a policy paper, ‘ESG Priorities for UK Companies 2022’, which sets out a number of ESG priorities for UK companies and organisations.
Environmental, social and governance considerations are increasingly important decision-making criteria for all types of organisations – not only as a means of winning the trust of stakeholders but also as barometers of effective business management.
The IoD provides a checklist of ESG priorities which are worthy of boardroom discussion in 2022, organised across the following key themes:
- Stakeholders and business purpose
- Sustainability
- Inclusion and Diversity
- Governance
- Executive remuneration
