ESG and Sustainability

How organizations manage environmental, social and governance (ESG) and sustainability issues and incorporate them into all they do has become a critical, board-level issue – and opportunity.

Our perspective

How your organization manages environmental, social and governance (ESG) and sustainability issues and incorporates them into all you do has become a critical, board-level issue – and opportunity.

Whether developing a holistic, enterprise-level strategy, executing tactical ESG-related programs, or helping to connect sustainability goals with daily efforts, WTW helps you address ESG as a fundamental need throughout your organization’s people, risk and capital strategies, with services and solutions that foster operational excellence and long-term sustainability.

Enabling organizations around the world to make informed, intelligent and integrated decisions on ESG is the WTW difference. That's perspective that moves you.

People, Risk and Capital

People are at the heart of climate and resilience, wellbeing, DEI and sustainability.

Risk captures and measures how ESG connects to your organization’s operations as well as the potential costs of action and inaction.

Capital encompasses sustainable investing and investment in programs to support employees and communities or to mitigate risk.

An effective ESG strategy needs discipline and focus to address your specific requirements. Understanding strategic options and the interplay among them is essential to prioritizing resources and setting your plan for action and impact. There are many ways to get started – or continue – on your ESG path.
