A deeper look at where Innovation meets ESG / Impact
If Covid19 taught us anything is that we are all in this together. Despite all the Health, Social and Economic Hardships as a result of Covid19, there has been a massive response in Innovation and the rise in the concepts of ESG — Environment, Social and Governance in the business world. This I hope will be new a better and more caring world.
I have started to learn, share ideas in the theme of Where Innovation and Meets ESG/Impact. Recently I had the privilege of sharing these ideas by giving in a Lecture at the Hebrew University Business School.

While ESG applies primally to Companies it also applies to Individuals and Governments.
The basic principle is for the world to be a kinder, gentle, and more caring world, This involves Collaboration and less self-interest.
So, let’s look again at what ESG is:
E- Environment — Care for The Environment to make the world a better place for us and future generations
The fight for Carbon Mitigation is now a global priority.
Regulations and Fines are increasing for example:
Israel — Green building standard to become compulsory in March 2022
UK — Only Electric Vehicles will be allowed to be sold from 2030
The success of this will require Finance, Investment, and Innovation.
While Regulation is a driver here, the Solutions to this are a big Opportunity
S- Social — Empower your Employees and the Community to be independent and contributing to society
We have already seen an increase in treating your Customers Fairly. Companies also need to treat their Staff and Invest in the Community where they Operate,
G-Governance — Do it properly in an integrated way that combines Kindness and Truth.
The Lecture covered the following:
1. Intro
2. Innovation in more detail
3. ESG in more detail
4. ESG Reporting
5. The Integrated Approach
