Let’s talk about something important that happened at the end of last year. In November 2024, a significant step forward was taken for organizations committed to sustainability and responsible practices with the publication of IWA 48:2024, Framework for Implementing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Principles.
Uncertain where to start?
If ESG has been on your radar but is unsure where to start or how to take your efforts further, this framework is precisely what you need. It’s designed to help organizations of all sizes and industries turn ambitious ESG goals into actionable strategies.
Core pillars
IWA 48:2024 dives deep into the three core pillars:
Environmental: Practical steps for addressing climate challenges and reducing environmental impact.
Social: Guidance for fostering inclusivity, equity, and community engagement.
Governance: Tools to strengthen accountability and transparency.
Flexibility and usage
What’s great about this framework is its flexibility. Whether you’re just starting or refining a well-established ESG strategy, it provides a roadmap that aligns with the needs of your stakeholders, regulators, and industry peers.
At a time when sustainability and governance are critical to long-term success, IWA 48:2024 gives you the structure not just to meet expectations but to exceed them. It helps you transform ESG from a buzzword into a true force for good. And the best part of it all? It’s completely free.
