ESG and business strategy: creating sustainable long-term value
In a column published by Expansión, Pablo Jiménez examines how an ESG perspective can help companies identify risks and opportunities, set priorities and connect value creation with environmental, social and governance objectives.
In the column “¿Tu negocio contribuye a cambiar el mundo? Considera una perspectiva ESG” (“Does your business contribute to changing the world? Consider an ESG perspective”), published by Expansión, our partner Pablo Jiménez discusses the incorporation of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria as a tool for strategically managing risks and opportunities.
Pablo explains that this approach can be applied to companies of different sizes and across industries, highlighting materiality assessments as a starting point for identifying and prioritizing the ESG risks most relevant to each business. Based on this assessment, organizations can define a strategy, establish objectives and initiatives, and develop indicators to evaluate results.
The article argues that value creation and values-based business management are not conflicting objectives. An ESG strategy aligned with the business model can strengthen risk management, respond to stakeholder expectations and support sustainable long-term value creation.
