About the Program

Among the nonfinancial criteria businesses must increasingly consider to stay relevant to their employees, customers, investors and boards is ESG―or Environmental, Social and Governance. Beyond making smart business sense, ESG initiatives can help drive efficiency, increase customer and employee engagement and involve constituents in decisions that will likely affect critical ecological and social improvements. In today’s business environment, investors and money managers want to know that a company does more than just turn a profit; indeed, having a positive (or less negative) impact on the world at large is now often a metric used to gauge the long-term health and viability of a commercial enterprise. Investments in real estate and development are now being evaluated for ESG sustainability by and for players in capital markets. As 2024 continues to roll along, what can you expect from some leading corporations in the U.S. on the sustainability front? We’ll also report on some key takeaways from the recent GreenBiz 24 sustainability and ESG conference.
