The ecological and social challenges of the 21st century are reshaping our economic development models.. Public authorities, consumers and citizens are encouraging companies to better manage their environmental and social impacts.
Corporate executives are therefore bearing new responsibilities and have to take into account new areas of risks and opportunities in their strategic decisions and managerial practices. The long-term success of companies is more than ever dependent on the quality of their interactions within their “ecosystems” which are made up of their natural environment and surrounding communities,, their employees, customers and suppliers as well as their shareholders.
As for investors, they are increasingly aware of their responsibility in the financing of a sustainable economy and of the influence of environmental, social and governance issues on the value of their investments. Like PRI signatories (the United Nations’ Principles for Responsible Investment), more and more organizations are adopting these principles in their investment practices, as a fiduciary duty.
