“ESG” is a term that started to be used in 2006 when the United Nations was developing plans and principles for investing responsibly. Since that time, ESG has become a standard by which organizations, government agencies and companies can evaluate their impact on the world, including how well they operate on a sustainable level.
In an effort to raise awareness about these global issues, International ESG Day was established to act as a reminder and motivator to raise the bar on the way the actions of people, and especially groups of people, are impacting the world around them, with the purpose of creating a better tomorrow. Fostering collaboration and highlighting achievements are just some of the many ways that International ESG Day seeks to foster a commitment to a brighter future.
Join an ESG Workshop
An excellent way for individuals, leadership teams, manager groups, politicians, CEOs and other community leaders to get involved with International ESG Day might be to learn more about the issue through a workshop. The ESG Institute and other leadership organizations may be able to host or organize workshops for groups and employees that can help educate and inform those who are making decisions or who are impacted by various environmental, social and governance issues.
Celebrate ESG Events Throughout the Year
Because the topic of ESG is all about living sustainably in a variety of ways, the calendar comes with dozens of opportunities to stay connected and motivated toward each of the impact areas. For instance, organizations or businesses might want to choose one day per month that would be a feature along one of the ESG topics. Check out some of these days to get started with: Global Recycling Day on March 18 World Health Day on April 7World Refugee Day on June 20Human Rights Day on December 10
