The conversation about Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues is getting louder. The pressure on companies, no matter what their size, to tune in to this global conversation is coming from many directions - media, investors, regulators, and is leading to a growing understanding that proactive commitment to ESG is more effective than reactive compliance.
For individuals within family-owned or privately owned businesses, who by their nature have a unique position and visibility to the public eye, this situation creates an opportunity to make meaningful contributions to critical debates. However it also poses a risk of being accused of a green-washing or a cause-washing if what they say and do lacks authenticity.
