Don’t mistake values as politics.
ESG is not about injecting politics or personal opinions into your business.
ESG is about aligning the methods and means to revenue performance, EBITDA, profitability, and valuation to the drivers of the license to operate in the new paradigm of stakeholder capitalism.
Public entities, often larger and multinational, have greater impositions of accountability, scrutiny, and regulation to manage with the added complexity of bureaucratic structures. Allocations for ESG innovations can often conflict with the resources needed to support transparency, disclosure, and compliance that comes with operating in a shareholder-based market.
Private companies, on the other hand, are freer to prioritize a customized ESG approach that serves their specific context. ESG then becomes proactive: A driver of strategic advantage with a transformational impact on market value and enterprise valuation.
