ESG Basics for SMEs – Maintaining a competitive edge and export-readiness

Online

This is an introductory ESG (environmental, social and governance) workshop that will engage participants in learning how ESG affects exporting, investment attraction, and bottom line risks and opportunities.

In support of these issues, there has emerged a strong business case for public and private companies alike to integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into the core of their strategy and decision making. Participants will be engaged to Develop a foundational understanding of ESG Learn about how ESG factors can influence their business performance Consider business case factors for SMEs in the context of risk and opportunity This workshop is organized by the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources and Renewables and Nova Scotia Business Incorporated with support from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and Net Zero Atlantic.
