On April 22nd, a global celebration unfolds as over 1 billion people across 140 countries unite to honour our breath-taking planet. Earth Day, originating in the USA in 1970, has evolved into a beacon of recognition for the environmental movement's triumphs. It serves as a poignant reminder to safeguard Earth's precious resources for the prosperity of generations to come.
The roots of the environmental movement trace back to the earliest concerns of the industrial revolution, with worries over smoke pollution clouding the atmosphere. As conservation efforts evolved, the first wildlife sanctuaries emerged in India, laying the groundwork for modern scientific conservation principles. The concerted efforts for environmental preservation gained traction in the late 19th century.
In contemporary times, the environmental movement has expanded into a multifaceted initiative commonly referred to as ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance). Among these pillars, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) stands out as particularly pertinent, encapsulating a company's commitment to ethical practices and sustainable operations aimed at benefiting society and the environment.
The 2004 United Nations report, "Who Cares Wins", is often credited with introducing ESG into the contemporary discourse.
The Global Compact strives to promote responsible corporate behaviour through collective efforts, envisioning businesses as integral components in addressing the complexities of globalisation.
➧ 31% of European investors say ESG is central to their investment approach.
➧ 88% of public companies have ESG initiatives in place.
➧ Just 13% of global investors see ESG as a passing fad.
About two-thirds of privately owned companies have ESG initiatives in place.
