ESG management: a trend or a necessity?

November, 2021

In a column published by Expansión, Pablo Jiménez examines why environmental, social and governance risk management has become increasingly relevant to corporate strategy, financing and business resilience.

In the column “Gestión con perspectiva ESG: ¿novedad o necesidad?” (“ESG management: a trend or a necessity?”), published by Expansión, our partner Pablo Jiménez examines the evolution of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria as a tool for identifying, prioritizing and managing risks, as well as recognizing opportunities related to a company’s business model.

Pablo identifies several factors driving the growing adoption of this approach: evolving stakeholder expectations; increasing demand for information from investors and capital providers; and the relationship between sound ESG risk management and companies’ ability to navigate adverse conditions.

In this context, Pablo argues that ESG adoption is increasingly driven by market dynamics and the need to strengthen organizational risk management and resilience.
