ESG (environmental, social, and governance) considerations are gaining traction among investors, policymakers, and other stakeholders, significantly impacting corporate practices around the world.
Business at OECD Secretariat holds ESG issues high on the agenda, and today we are pleased to announce the release of our thought starter on ESG considerations in business decisions, which greatly benefitted from the expertise and knowledge of our members. It identifies common challenges in regards to the current ESG discussions and outlines some key considerations on the role that the OECD can play in helping governments address them effectively. We hope that this thought-starter will serve as a point of departure for our members to explore tangible business asks on more specific topics around ESG that are of interest and relevance to each committee.
