People and customers
Companies are increasingly being called upon to rethink their business practices with regard to sustainability and to take measures to minimize their impact on the environment and society.
With regard to employees, companies must ensure that they are adequately remunerated, have fair working conditions and have the opportunity to perform their work in a safe and healthy working environment. Companies are also expected to promote diversity and inclusion in the workforce and prevent discrimination of any kind.
It is important to emphasize that these requirements have not only moral but also economic implications. Companies that neglect their ESG and employee practices risk a negative impact on their reputation, business development and financing opportunities.
