The Benefits
There are many challenges to running a business in the current economic climate. Whilst enhancing ESG creds may be seen as a luxury, it won’t be long until not having those creds will stop you from doing business. In some areas the public sectors may be leading the charge, with 10% or more of the scoring for supplier selection being attributed to ESG. However, the drivers are strong:
- Shortening and making more stable/flexible supply chains
- Investing in the local community
- Growing support for your business within the local community
- Differentiating yourself from the competition in an area that is growing in significance
- Giving your employees a strong bond to the business, aiding retention and recruitment
Additionally, developing your procurement footprint locally:
- Enables you to successfully bid for work in the public sector, as the new ESG framework puts greater emphasis on local procurement – Improving Sustainability in Central Government – ESG Considerations – BDO
- Aligns your business with the UN Sustainable Development Goals – United Nations Sustainable Development – that are increasingly being adopted by investors and stakeholders as the gold standard for any business
