How do you implement ESG strategies? RBS International 'A Just Transition' Podcast Series
-
- Investing
In this episode we’re joined by Gary Kendall, Head of Climate Strategy Implementation at NatWest as our focus turns to the implementation of ESG strategies, a topic that is centre stage at COP27, and exemplifies the need to track action rather than targets.
We discuss why we can’t just set ESG targets internally and focus on achieving them to bring about the system level change that is needed and how independence, an open and transparent approach and bringing your stakeholders along with you, all play key roles in fully integrating ESG as a long term ambition at an organisation.
Join us as we chat about what lessons we've learned implementing our own ESG strategy, whose role is it to drive cultural change and the common areas that businesses fall short when it comes to implementation despite having strong ambitions.
