Sustainability Is Becoming a People Issue
For many organizations, environmental, social and governance or ESG initiatives initially developed around reporting, investment, compliance and environmental targets. But sustainability cannot be delivered by policies and reports alone. Behind every environmental target is a workforce that needs the right capabilities. Behind every social commitment are decisions about employees, inclusion and communities. Behind strong governance are leaders expected to make responsible and transparent decisions. This is why HR is becoming increasingly relevant to the sustainability conversation. For Malaysian employers, the connection is particularly important as businesses respond to evolving sustainability expectations while competing for skilled talent in a rapidly changing Asian economy.
