ESG policies in Nord holding
ESG: Environmental, Social and Governance
ESG policy stands for environmental, social, and corporate responsible governance, i.e. for Nord Holding’s business to be sustainable and successful we need to invest by creating added value throughout the entire chain of society, environment, contractors, consumers, employees and owners.
In other words, ESG defines the approach to successful sustainable management of our company.
This approach stems from the concept of the so-called three “P’s”: people, planet, profit (PPP).
The idea that companies will tripple their profits if they focus on this ” trio” lies at the core of the concept.
Dimensions of the three factors that underlie ESG:
Environmental factors
require the company to have a responsible attitude towards nature, which includes planning active actions to protect it, such as prevention of harmful emissions and greenhouse gases, clean oceans and seas, fertile land, etc.
Social factors
show the company’s attitude to people: responsible management of its relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, other communities to create a supportive living environment.
Corporate governance
must be at a high level, which is achieved through quality management, transparency in decision-making, risk assessment, internal control, regular audits, and more.
The importance of ESG is assessed through the company’s image
A responsibly managed company with developed environmental, social and corporate governance policies is more competitive and more attractive to investors, leading to greater financial stability and sustainability.
In the long run, companies with effective ESG policies will be more adaptable to crisis situations and new regulatory requirements, open to innovation and able to protect their reputation more successfully.
On a global level, governments, business and society are becoming increasingly sensitive to environmental and social issues. Driven by the idea of tackling climate change, regulatory changes at European Union level are therefore also increasing.
Timely action on the the three aspects of ESG policy ensures compliance with increasingly stringent legal requirements and regulations.
