COP27 Sharm el-Sheikh
One year ago, I arrived in Glasgow to join the largest global climate conference in history. Over 40,000 delegates from two hundred nations came together to advance climate action and the broader United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at COP26. As this year’s conference continues, I want to share an insider perspective and my optimism for progress.
 

Bottom line benefits of adopting ESG practices

Companies that have embraced the ESG (environmental, social and governance) agenda in recent years have enjoyed a significant boost to the bottom line as well as wider strategic benefits, according to new research by Moore Global.
 

Succession planning is the latest aspect of business life where the ESG agenda is having a profound impact. Handled correctly, it could resolve many of the thorny issues company owners face in attracting talented young staff and promoting leaders of the future.

Moore Global, one of the world’s leading accountancy and advisory networks, has appointed three new global leaders to focus on growth areas for the organisation.  For the first time, a global lead for Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) has been appointed, signalling the firm’s strong commitment to these areas, and the growing importance that global financial communities are placing on broader business practices.
 

ESG expert Kris Russell was recently honoured at the COP26 conference on climate change for the achievements of the team he led at Dallas Fort Worth, making it the biggest airport in the world to become carbon neutral.
