During my school holidays, I used to accompany my dad to work which mostly involved him flying to Europe or the US, speaking at events, meeting business partners and striking deals. I had no idea what a formative experience this would be – being immersed in different cultures, travelling to extraordinary places and meeting inclusive, talented people was all in a day’s ‘work’.

If ESG fails to get on the agenda, a business is likely to suffer reputational damage; be on the end of legal action if laws and regulations are breached, bring about poor relations with stakeholders, and face potential issues relating to supply chain and potential loss of business.
