Can a company already practicing CSR afford to overlook ESG?

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) may seem synonymous, but can they be treated interchangeably?

While they share certain goals, ESG and CSR diverge in execution. CSR operates as a self-regulated model, fostering social accountability to internal stakeholders and the public. However, since CSR metrics are self-defined, there's potential for companies to set low standards for appearance's sake, with minimal actual impact.

Conversely, ESG employs more comprehensive, externally regulated metrics to gauge overall impact, reflected in ESG scores. Though both ESG and CSR have roles in the corporate landscape, understanding their differences is pivotal for charting your company's course and its impact on the local community.

Environmental Values Impact Workforce Choices

A recent KPMG survey of 5,700 UK adults revealed a compelling insight: as much as a third of Gen Z employees (aged 18 to 25) are ready to reject job offers from companies lacking strong environmental commitments.

Gen Z's sway stems from their emphasis on aligning with principled entities, influenced by social media and a collective sense of responsibility.

A job seeker summed up the sentiment well: "I can't apply to a company that contradicts my beliefs." As businesses plan for the future, embracing green values isn't just about staying relevant - it's about securing a committed and forward-looking workforce:- https://rb.gy/tor7e

ESG: Small Ventures, Big Impact

The ESG framework isn't solely for corporate giants - it extends its arms to small ventures too.

Thankfully, smaller businesses aren't held to the rigorous standards of their larger counterparts. This flexibility allows you to take gradual steps, identifying key issues that resonate with you and your stakeholders, and progressively working towards them.

At PEGH, we firmly believe that every small stride towards positive change counts. We're here to guide you through the journey, assisting you in shaping a brighter community and environment.

As we gear up for 2024, Malaysia's budgetary compass points firmly towards sustainability. The nation is setting a green precedent, channelling RM2 billion into the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) to pivot our industries towards cleaner energy.

But it's not just large corporates in the spotlight. A substantial RM20 billion is earmarked for SMEs, incentivising those who commit to ESG principles, especially in burgeoning sectors like green tech and the halal market.
