Friday Focus | “ESG and sustainability — what’s real progress vs. just reporting?”

Environmental Social and Governance [ESG] reporting is everywhere, but how do we separate genuine progress from tick-the-box compliance?

Let’s share what’s working, what isn’t, and where the opportunities are.

• Where do you see the most authentic progress in ESG in your industry right now? (Examples: reduced emissions, waste reduction, renewable energy uptake, supplier standards.)

• What’s starting to feel like ‘greenwashing’ or box-ticking?

• How do you spot when a company is more focused on reporting than on real change?

• What’s been effective in your organisation (or others you’ve seen) to move from reporting → to measurable impact?

• Where do you think ESG efforts should be focused in the next 2–3 years?

“If you could only choose one ESG initiative to keep, what would it be and why?”

“What tool, standard, or framework has actually been useful in your ESG work?”

Today’s discussion is about cutting through the noise to uncover the truth behind ESG and perhaps discovering an insight that is like gold.
