In it, she is quoted as saying the following: “Konecranes wants to be a forerunner in sustainability, which means not only being compliant with the constantly evolving regulations, but also focusing on what really matters: mitigating the negative environmental and social impacts and maximising the positive ones.
“Now we are facing an ESG [environmental, social and governance]-related tsunami. Most of these changes are very welcome, although this thunderstorm of requirements creates a burden for companies. Sustainability should be in the core of the strategy, and cooperation and holistic processes to manage it are key.”
If you, to use Anniina’s terms, are feeling burdened by a “tsunami” or “thunderstorm” of ESG requirements, then she shares her advice on how to manage those ever-evolving sustainability standards in a short blog that can be found on the United Nations Global Compact Network Finland website (shorturl.at/nvQ04). The Untied Nations Global Compact Network is a corporate sustainability initiative, and the blog is well worth a look.
