You’ve probably heard the term ESG tossed around in boardrooms, policy meetings, and even the news. But what does it really mean?
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. It’s a framework used to measure how an organization is performing in three critical areas:
• Environmental: How are we protecting the planet? (e.g., renewable energy, waste reduction, biodiversity protection)
• Social: How are we treating people? (e.g., fair wages, community impact, cultural respect)
• Governance: How are we making decisions? (e.g., transparency, ethics, anti-corruption)
In the Pacific, ESG isn’t just a business trend, it’s a lifeline. Climate change, fragile ecosystems, and our deep community ties mean we have more at stake than most. Embedding ESG into our decisions helps protect our islands, strengthen our communities, and ensure fair and transparent governance.
At ESG Pacific, we’ll be sharing weekly posts to help demystify ESG and show you how it’s already shaping the Pacific’s future.
