  • Introduction

    An image representing ESG

    Environmental, Social and Governance - ESG has become a new buzzword, predominantly used in connection to the business world. 

    E - stands for environmental, S – stands for social and G - stands for governance. 

    Companies are now asked to report on their environmental impact, their impact on society as well as disclose how they are governed. This so-called non-financial reporting has become equal to annual financial reporting. Investors, governments, as well as the public wants to hold the companies accountable for their activities and therefore ESG reporting is an essential tool to achieve this. 

    ESG is thus a great opportunity for Social Enterprises to show and disseminate their positive social and/or environmental impact and to build up new connections with large companies, which would like to improve their ESG score and make a more positive impact via collaborations with social enterprises.

  • Social impact and SROI "S"

    The unit explores the social impact within ESG, focusing on how businesses affect people and communities. The “S” in ESG emphasises human well-being, equality, and societal progress through relationships with employees, supply chains, customers, and local communities. It covers four key areas outlined by ESRS: own workforce, workers in the value chain, affected communities, and consumers and end-users.

    You will learn how addressing social impact builds business resilience, mitigates risks, contributes to global sustainability goals, and creates value for companies and society.
