● Focus: Climate risk, emissions cuts, energy efficiency, renewables, circular economy, water & biodiversity
🔸 Leading companies integrating sustainability report a 52% higher profitability compared to competitors, leveraging data-driven interventions—think LED upgrades and solar power scaling (Thomson Reuters, 2025).

🔹 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿
● Focus: Human rights, labor practices, diversity & inclusion, workforce well-being, community engagement
🔸 Organizations with strong social practices record 14% higher employee satisfaction and 21% higher profitability (Harvard Business Review, Gallup).

🔹 𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿
● Focus: Board independence, transparent pay, ethics, risk, anti-corruption
