Abstract

To date, managers of approximately $ 30 trillion in financial assets—all signatories to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI)—are seeking to identify companies with higher levels of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance and strong returns. CFOs increasingly find ESG management on their agenda. However, based on insights from Deloitte Sustainability and the CFO study, in 2012, the management of ESG via the financial department varies enormously between industries and countries. This chapter aims to provide insights into four key areas which could be considered key links with respect to finding the value in ESG performance. First, the role of the CFOs in managing ESG performance, second, the market value of the respective information, third, the development over time towards a future outlook, and fourth the utility of transparent ESG information (in the form of internal and external reporting) going forward.
