Chris Gale speaks with Sky Business News: Environmental and social governance crucial for investors

One measure of success in an era when environmental and social governance is a key metric for businesses and charities is the ability to track the impact of programs and funding. Now an Australian-backed startup is doing that here and around the world, with a variety of companies and not-for-profits. “What we see happening globally is really a big movement about how investors and markets look at business performance,” Socialsuite’s Chief Impact Officer Tim Siegenbeek van Heukelom said. “Traditionally, the yardstick was what’s the bottom line? What are the financials of a company? “But today there is that additional element where investors look at what are the non-financial metrics and information of a business, or really on ESG (environmental and social governance), how is a company operating and being governed in a responsible and transparent way?” In partnership with Socialsuite.
