Abstract: This book delves into the origins, developments, and applications of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies and reporting frameworks, offering a comprehensive exploration of the transformative role of ESG in shaping the future of corporate and financial decision-making. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how ESG strategy influences investment decisions, business strategy, and customer relationships in today's dynamic economic landscape. The book combines theory and practice, demonstrating how organisations can align their ESG strategy with global goals like the UN Sustainable Development Goals, improve stakeholder engagement, and enhance transparency. It offers actionable guidance on integrating ESG considerations into business strategies, making it a useful tool for practical implementation.
