ESG Open Innovation Interactive EuroAsia

Is your company a “Net Positive Company” ?

A termed coined by former CEO of Unilever CEO, Paul Polman, which defines a company that seek to “improve well-being for everyone it impacts and at all scales- every product, every operation, every region and country, and for every stakeholder, including employees, suppliers, communities, customers and even future generations and the planet itself.”

A lofty goal but also potentially a very rewarding one. It is estimated that by meeting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, companies globally could unlock trillions in values and create hundreds of millions of jobs. (Business And Sustainable Commission)

We are also beginning to see how companies embracing ESG are striving ahead of the pack, with more than 80% of ESG funds outperforming their benchmarks in 2020. (Harvard Business Review, 2021)

Conversely, companies ignoring ESG risk not only shunning away potential investors, who are the new force pushing for sustainability but also future talents of Millennials, Generation Z and the Alpha Generation.

Therefore the question is now is no longer if a company can be a force of good but rather how can a company innovate to play an active role in solving our biggest shared problem.
