Applying and adjusting an ESG strategy within firms and institutions involves a multi-step approach to integrate sustainability, ethical practices, and strong governance into the organization's operations. The goal is to align business practices with the broader societal objectives of addressing environmental sustainability, social equity, and transparent, responsible governance.
Hi Madhan, thank you for your reply.
In general, your answer is correct. Could you elaborate on it within the context of developing countries?
Perhaps by citing a case study of successful ESG implementation in such regions?

Hi Amel, thank you for the excellent question.
Implementing ESG in developing countries, where the general context of ESG, policies, climate issues, social structures, and ecological challenges differs significantly from developed countries—where most ESG frameworks, standards, ratings, and regulations are currently established as benchmarks—requires a unique approach. It is crucial for us in Asia, ASEAN, and Africa to think this through more thoroughly.
I strongly recommend that ESG practitioners in developing regions focus on understanding materiality aspects (begin with single materially assessment - then proceeding to double materiality assessmet) to prioritize and guide their follow-up actions effectively

The main Challenge for integrating ESG is commitment of the Government who regulate and Company.
Hi Yihunie,
While it's true that governments in developing countries may lack advanced ESG policies, strategies, and programs, this presents an excellent opportunity for the private sector and academia to collaborate with the government. By working together, they can effectively address these challenges, guided by the principle of 'think global, act local"

Implementing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices in developing countries involves adapting global ESG standards to local contexts and needs. This includes focusing on environmental sustainability, such as addressing pollution and promoting renewable energy, while supporting social development through access to education, healthcare, and fair labor practices. Strengthening governance through improved transparency and ethical business practices is key. Engaging stakeholders like local communities, governments, and NGOs ensures that initiatives are effectively implemented. Monitoring, reporting progress, and building capacity through training further support the successful integration of ESG practices, ultimately fostering long-term sustainable development.
