It is today unacceptable to maintain business relations with a company that has unethical practices, violates human rights or doesn’t respect environmental protection standards. Most companies have an extensive network of suppliers and business partners, making it difficult to detect potentially controversial practices of those suppliers and partners, especially if they come from other countries.
The implementation of ESG principles will also be a legal obligation in the near future, so you’ll have a huge competitive advantage tomorrow if you include them today.
