Developing responsible and sustainable operations is critical for business growth. Every company needs to focus on enforcing environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) considerations.
My mission is to assist domestic companies in the necessary organizational and conceptual transformation that supports this. An important step is that more and more companies realize their potential in today’s business and financing environment where sustainability is required. We can then contribute to reducing the emission of organizations, to enhance climate risk mitigation and resilience.
