ESG: A Comprehensive Approach for a
Sustainable Future
Introduction:
In a world increasingly aware of the importance of sustainability, the ESG approach has become an essential framework for assessing how organizations manage risks and opportunities related to environmental, social, and corporate criteria.
In this article, we will explore in detail the three pillars of ESG and how they apply to projects and companies, with a special focus on the Fénik initiative. We will also examine the impact of clean energies and present some inspirational quotes on sustainability.
1.- ESG: AN ORGANIZATION'S SUSTAINABILITY
ESG is an acronym for Environmental Social Governance and refers to the Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance criteria, which are fundamental to understanding how an organization addresses sustainability as a whole. Kyle Peterdi eloquently summarizes it: "ESG is a framework that helps stakeholders understand how an organization is managing risks and opportunities related to environmental, social, and corporate criteria. ESG adopts the holistic view that sustainability goes beyond environmental issues."
Environmental:
These factors focus on an organization's environmental impacts and risk management practices. This includes considerations such as greenhouse gas emissions, natural resource management, and resilience to physical climate risks.
Social:
The social pillar is linked to how the organization interacts with its stakeholders, encompassing the development of human capital and its influence on local communities.
Governance:
Corporate governance refers to the way an organization is directed and managed, assessing how leadership incentives align with stakeholder expectations and how transparency and accountability are promoted.
2.- APPLICATION OF ESG
The ESG business model demands a sustainable commitment from companies from the initial stages of a project. This ensures proper execution and maximizes benefits, which is perceived as added value in projects.
3.- FÉNIK'S COMMITMENT
Fénik stands out in its commitment to sustainability. It considers environmental impact in every project it undertakes, focusing on reducing the carbon footprint and promoting water and energy-saving technologies. It also offers qualified supply, ensuring access to renewable energy for large consumers, thereby contributing to the reduction of Co2 emissions.
4.- CONCLUSION
The ESG approach and the promotion of clean energies are fundamental for a sustainable future. Organizations like Fénik are leading the way by incorporating these principles into their projects and business activities. A 1% increase in renewable energy consumption in Mexico could reduce GHG emissions by 31,219.9 kt of Co2. Sustainability is not only a responsibility but also an opportunity to build a better world.
