Highlighting ESG Importance
The importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors is crucial for sustainable business practices. Integrating ESG considerations can lead to long-term value creation and positively impact both society and the environment.
Hi Kaleab,
Thank you for the response.
I couldn’t agree more. ESG's importance and value lie in its tremendous capability to provide both short- and long-term value creation, generating a sustainable positive impact on all stakeholders—whether it’s nature, society, the companies themselves, or the workers/employees.

The importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria has grown significantly as businesses recognize the need to address sustainability and ethical challenges. Environmental sustainability ensures companies take steps to reduce their carbon footprints and preserve resources, contributing to long-term ecological health. Social responsibility emphasizes fair treatment of employees, diversity, and active community engagement, which builds trust and fosters positive societal impact. Strong governance practices, including transparency and ethical behavior, protect companies from risks like corruption and improve accountability. ESG practices are also increasingly demanded by investors, who recognize that businesses with strong ESG commitments tend to be more resilient and profitable in the long run. Additionally, as governments enforce stricter ESG regulations, companies that prioritize these areas ensure compliance and avoid penalties. Adopting ESG principles helps improve reputation, strengthen brand loyalty, and better manage risks, making ESG an essential component for businesses aiming for sustainable growth.
ESG is crucial because it helps organizations manage environmental and social risks that directly impact long-term performance. Investors increasingly rely on ESG metrics to identify sustainable, resilient companies. Strong ESG practices also build trust with stakeholders and strengthen a company’s reputation in a rapidly changing world.
Really thoughtful points, Krishna Priya. You’ve captured how ESG isn’t just a nice-to-have, it is also central to managing risk and building resilience. I’d add that it also helps organizations anticipate regulatory changes and shifting consumer expectations, which makes them more adaptable in the long run.
Companies across several industries from various shapes and sizes, who have incorporated ESG practices in their DNA, have seen tremendous positive impact not only on their business profit trend but also on how they have impacted their stakeholders. The challenge now is to showcase and market the idea and the reaping benefits of ESG, not only to other business but to the government sectors across different countries, from emerging to developed, and inspire them to become forerunners of ESG practices across their realm of jurisdiction. Maybe, maybe then we can see our Mother earth heal completely, communities unite for better change and businesses compete for the better good.
Veronica, I agree...the impact of ESG is clear, but the real opportunity now is storytelling. When companies share how ESG has changed lives, strengthened communities, and built resilience, it resonates far beyond profit charts. Governments and industries can be inspired not just by numbers, but by the human stories behind them. That’s how ESG becomes contagious, spreading from boardrooms to policies, and eventually shaping a collective push for a healthier planet and stronger societies.
Effective disability inclusion demands more than symbolic commitment—it requires structural integration into a company's culture and operations. Leading organizations start by ensuring accessible, bias-free hiring and assessment processes, followed by creating workplaces designed for all through physical accessibility, assistive technologies, and flexible work options.
Equally important is shaping an inclusive culture. This is achieved through continuous awareness training, strong employee resource groups, and strategic partnerships with experts and NGOs to guide implementation. Mature ESG programs also establish clear metrics and transparent reporting, tracking progress on hiring, retention, and career mobility for persons with disabilities.
Forward-looking companies extend inclusion across the value chain through inclusive procurement and supplier engagement. When executed well, disability inclusion becomes a driver of innovation, talent engagement, and brand trust—strengthening both the “S” in ESG and the organization’s long-term competitiveness.

Ravi, what stands out in your comment is the way you frame disability inclusion as structural, not symbolic. Embedding accessibility into hiring, workplace design, and culture makes inclusion real, while metrics and transparent reporting keep organizations accountable. Extending it across the value chain is where it becomes transformative, driving innovation, trust, and competitiveness, and showing how the “S” in ESG delivers lasting impact. Thank you for your input.
Recognizing the profound significance of ESG initiatives and policies is vital for cultivating a thriving business model. By emphasizing environmental stewardship—such as sustainable resource management and reducing carbon footprints—alongside social responsibility, including equitable labor practices and community engagement, and robust governance, characterized by transparency and ethical decision-making, companies can create a lasting, positive impact. International policymakers and business groups are increasingly championing the indispensable contributions of ESG, advocating for transformative changes that resonate from grassroots movements to the highest levels of corporate strategy. By wholeheartedly embracing these principles, organizations not only pave the way for sustainable growth but also enhance their reputation and foster trust within the marketplace, ultimately benefiting both their stakeholders and the broader community.
I agree with your thoughts, Asim. Thank you for sharing them.
