ESG in International Relocation: The Business Benefits

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) is underpinning responsible decision making impacting purchases and operations. For many corporate clients, a robust ESG policy is a requirement throughout their supply chains:

• 91% of companies take sustainability criteria into account in purchasing decisions.
• 85% of people are more likely to choose a supplier with a reputation for sustainability than a neutral company.
• 10/10: every year within the last decade saw the introduction of a major new supply chain sustainability regulation.

Implementing and refining a thorough approach to ESG gives organisations the opportunity to minimise the impact it has on the environment and other ESG issues.

The nature of international relocations involves a high environmental impact. Companies involved throughout the move and relocation process have the opportunity to minimise this influence.

At BTR International, we believe that implementation of a proactive ESG policy ensures we are an environmentally aware and responsible organisation. Adding relocation value via sustainability is a core value of our company. This is important to our clients, partners (throughout our supply chain) and employees.

5 Business Benefits of ESG

We traditionally think of the ‘green’ advantages of ESG, however there are other advantages to be gained from operating sustainably:

1. Competitive advantage as many clients require proactively environmentally responsible suppliers.
2. ESG policies can attract investors and lenders as they look to invest in sustainable organisations.
3. Improved financial performance can be achieved via even the smallest efforts toward sustainability. Paperless offices, for example, improves profitability and ROI.
4. Customer loyalty is increased as transparent and effectively communicating ESG efforts can retain and attract more customers.
5. Investing in ESG enables companies to become sustainable and adaptable within fast-changing requirements.
