Abstract

The beginning of the ESG Corporate reporting began as a compliance driven report and is now an instrument of long-term value creation: Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) frameworks started as the compliance-based input. Despite this development, many companies still face challenges with piecemeal ESG adoption without integration into central governance and risk processes. This paper focuses on governance as the linchpin of ESG success and considers how board oversight, enterprise risk management (ERM), stakeholder engagement, and transparency mechanisms turn environmental and social initiatives into sustainable business strategies.
