DESCRIPTION:
This 60 Minute PowerPoint presentation was created for business owners and managers to harness the power of ESG for your firm. ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance considerations and it covers a range of decisions beyond those that typically factor into traditional business and project management. ESG in the design, remodeling and building sectors encompasses the firm’s sustainability practices, hiring and staffing policies, and health and wellness considerations for staff and clients. These impact the organization’s reputational value and, increasingly, its access to capital, insurance and liability coverage. You’re probably already engaged in some ESG initiatives, and you’re certainly paying attention to new building codes around the country that impact your bottom line, but are you aware of what will attract and retain Gen Z hires, what might worry your funders and insurers, and what prospective clients and trade partners are seeking in project partners? This continuing education program will provide a basic framework to apply to your organization’s 21st Century path to success.
