SHARED VALUE: THE FOUNDATION OF CREDIBLE ESG REPORTING

SHARED VALUE: THE FOUNDATION OF CREDIBLE ESG REPORTING

Many people view ESG—Environmental, Social, and Governance—as both the starting point and the ultimate goal for responsible business practices. However, I'd like to challenge that perspective and suggest that ESG is a powerful reporting mechanism, but it is not the endgame. The true foundation for impactful ESG reporting lies in the concept of Shared Value.

NETWORKING & LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

Join us for the African Universities Gender Equality Forum (AUGEF) on August 15th. This pivotal event, hosted by the Shared Value Africa Initiative (SVAI) and the #ItsNotOK movement, aims to elevate awareness and drive action towards gender equality in education, especially in marginalised communities. AUGEF brings together academic leaders, students, and diverse stakeholders to discuss critical issues and share strategies that promote gender equality within higher education. This year’s forum will focus on the challenges faced by refugees in accessing education and highlight the efforts of institutions and organizations working to bridge these gaps.
