THE topic of sustainability and environment, social and governance (ESG) has become increasingly fundamental and embedded in our lives.

From consumers and investors making choices based on environmental impact to businesses focusing on sustainability as a core tenet to long-term value creation, and to governments aiming to design and implement effective laws, regulatory frameworks and policies to address the Sustainable Development Goals, the topic of sustainability and ESG cannot be separated.
