Investec shares sustainability reporting tips

With sustainability and environment, social and governance (ESG) becoming increasingly important considerations for investors, banking and wealth management group Investec South Africa has unpacked the importance of organisations understanding their credentials and goals properly.

Investec deems it important to distinguish between ESG and sustainability, with the former referring to a set of criteria used to assess an organisation’s impact, while the latter relates to the capacity to maintain the interplay of ESG factors and avoid long-term depletion of natural resources.
