As we move toward 2030, the target year for many corporates to achieve specific ESG goals, the importance of ESG and upskilling cannot be overstated.

In the rapidly evolving corporate landscape, businesses are no longer solely defined by financial success. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations have become integral, shaping the strategies of global companies. Did you know that 70% of these companies now incorporate ESG factors into their business strategies? As we delve into the dynamics of this transformative shift, let’s explore key statistics that underscore the significance of ESG in today’s corporate world.

• ESG integration: A Strategic Imperative ESG, encompassing environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and governance practices, has become a strategic imperative for corporations globally. Beyond ethical considerations, companies are recognizing the business value of ESG integration. This involves aligning organizational strategies with broader societal goals, fostering a holistic approach that resonates with stakeholders.

• Bridging the skills gap: However, the pursuit of ESG goals requires more than strategic alignment; it demands a skilled and future-ready workforce. The estimated annual cost of skills gaps for corporations globally is a staggering US$1.4 trillion. This emphasizes the crucial role of upskilling in navigating the ESG landscape, ensuring that employees possess the necessary competencies to contribute to and drive ESG initiatives.
