Integrating ESG into Corporate Governance – Driving Sustainable Growth
As global standards tighten requirements for environmental, social, and governance responsibilities, integrating ESG into corporate governance is no longer optional—it is a strategic imperative for maintaining long-term competitiveness.
ESG & Governance – The Strategic Connection
The “G” pillar in ESG (Governance) focuses on board structure, transparency, internal controls, business ethics, and leadership capability. A strong governance framework is the foundation to:
✔ Ensure systematic implementation of ESG commitments
✔ Manage non-financial risks effectively
✔ Attract investors who prioritize transparency and sustainability
✔ Strengthen credibility with customers, shareholders, and partners
Common Challenges for Businesses

Leadership lacks clarity on ESG’s role in strategic governance
-
No clear accountability framework for ESG responsibilities
-
Board of Directors (BoD) and management have no ESG-linked KPIs
-
