GCCI collaborates with EY to facilitate ESG Essentials Workshop for members
Through a collaboration with Ernst and Young (EY), the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) on January 28, facilitated an Environmental, Social and Governance Essentials Workshop for its membership. This initiative was led by the Chamber’s Green Economy Committee.
The objective of the workshop was to sensitise participants on how prioritising Environmental, Social, and Governance factors can transform their companies by boosting the business’ reputation, attracting socially responsible investors, and reducing long-term risks by incorporating sustainable strategies into the business model.
Among the discussion areas were ‘Introduction to Climate Change’, ‘Understanding ESG’, ‘Climate risks for businesses’, ‘Sustainability reporting’ and the ‘ESG Journey’. The EY team iterated the importance of sustainability standards and climate risk management, particularly against the backdrop of the oil and gas industry.
