ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) encompasses a company’s or organisation’s overall strategy, linking environmental, social and governance considerations to its business activities.

Although ESG is not solely about compliance with legally regulated environmental requirements, effective ESG management is essential for companies of all sizes. It helps increase business value, reduce investment risks and maintain strong relationships with investors and stakeholders.

ESG is one of the core components of our Nordic consulting services. DGE Group has been advising its Scandinavian clients (Volvo, NCC, Absolut and others) for over 10 years. Hendrikson DGE draws on this international experience and expertise to help businesses address environmental and climate-related challenges, identify new opportunities and mitigate risks.
