In less than 20 years, the ESG movement has grown from a corporate social responsibility initiative launched by the United Nations into a global phenomenon whose assets are set to balloon to $50 trillion by 2025 from about $35 trillion, according to estimates from Bloomberg Intelligence. Being the topic of numerous discussions and having impact on future enterprise value proves it to be crucial in operating business.

However, ESG stands for environmental, social, and corporate governance, hence we want to leverage our focus on one of those aspects, namely social. Together with my guest, Therese Baptiste Cornelis, an Advisory Board Member at AKFI Actionable Knowledge Foundational Institute as well as a consultant for organizations in key issues of Digital Transformation, we will discuss the role of ESG in organisations, especially focusing on the social inclusion aspect.
