Capitalism Allows ESG to Win | Catherine Duggan, Head of Sustainability for Financial Services Advisory at Grant Thornton Ireland

On this episode of Dreams With Deadlines, we learn why today’s Environmental, Social and Governance standards – or ESG – are about a lot more than aspirational, check-the-box marketing. Not in the face of accelerating climate change impacts and social inequity! Guest Catherine Duggan, Head of Sustainability for Financial Services Advisory at the consulting firm Grant Thornton Ireland, briefs Host Jenny Herald on why robust ESG standards are critical to corporate resiliency and risk mitigation in today’s volatile world. With 2030 targeted internationally as the point of no return for combating catastrophic climate change impacts, businesses are tackling with increased urgency the mandate to put in place meaningful sustainability practices that are about far more than feel-good window dressing. Find out about the innovative measures corporations are adopting to advance social equity and environmental sustainability. It’s all about common sense that also makes compelling business sense.
