Corporate Beekeeping,virtual team experiences and corporate training programs are innovative ways for companies and non-profit organizations to demonstrate their commitment to environmental action, social justice and good governance (ESG). These programs include beehives and support for pollinator-friendly gardens on rooftops, on the grounds of office buildings or any area outside the company that needs immediate ecosystem resoration at larger scale.
"Bees must be protected for our own future. Countries need to shift to more pollinator-friendly and sustainable food policies and systems. We cannot continue to focus only on increasing productivity. We are responsible for protecting bees and we should make pollinator-friendly choices"
FAO Director-General 's message UN
Environmental, Social, and Governance
ESG are increasingly important factors in today’s more progressive corporate business world. They are crucial in helping identify material risks to the business and opportunities for growth.
Corporate Environmental Governance includes making sure the directors of your company can establish accountability within the company so that stakeholders are aware of the company’s commitments to sustainability. Companies that respond effectively to the challenges of ESG can gain a competitive advantage, exploit new market opportunities, boost their market share, and increase their shareholder value.
Many businesses simply produce policies to satisfy a tender requirement and tick boxes but this would be wasting a great opportunity. We all hold a responsibility to the environment beyond legal and regulatory requirements. Reducing our impact and continually improving our environment should be an integral part of every business strategy and operating methods.
