ESG is the No. 1 topic investors want to discuss with boards of directors. As of 2020, almost 90% of publicly traded companies and 67% of privately-owned companies had embarked on ESG initiatives.. Additionally, 88% of institutional investors believe that companies that prioritize ESG initiatives represent better opportunities for long-term returns than companies that do not.

Investors, consumers, and employees are demanding that companies make positive ESG (environmental, social, and governance) impacts and the game has changed. Positively contributing to society and the environment is now a "must have." ESG frameworks have brought transparency, objectivity, and accountability to companies' environmental, social, and governance impacts.
