Welcome and Introduction
About this Guidance
This Guidance has been created based on the three pillars of ESG, (environmental, social and governance). The Environmental pillar is about making our environment more sustainable through your organization’s actions, procedures and products. The Social pillar is about the work your organization does in the areas of diversity, equity, inclusivity, and social impact. The Governance pillar reflects how your organization operationalizes and measures the work it does within the other two pillars. In providing this guidance the working group considered the importance or significance of each item. Those that we firmly believe need to be done, we have listed as “highly recommended” actions. Those items that we believe you should be doing, are listed as “recommended” actions. Those items that you might ask if they are acceptable are provided as “may” and last, those items that are a possibility or a capability are listed as “can”.
NOTE: Nothing in this Guidance supersedes law. Please use this link to provide any feedback or suggestions.
