Considerations of Environment, Social Sustainability and Governance (ESG) are key to business and project regulation, financing and operations. Financing agencies, regulators, law enforcement and even shareholders and consumers demand protection of the environment and biodiversity, mitigation of the social impact of projects and good governance structures. Also on the ESG agenda is climate change and business and human rights.
