Why Startups Need an ESG Strategy

Vice President, Pledge 1%

Hi everyone,

Harvard Business Review released a great, actionable article on why startups need an ESG strategy early-on.

The full resource is found here.

Some key takeaways:

1. Clarifying your impact may be aided by answering the question "what would the world miss if my startup disappeared?"

2. Your data can be your purpose friend or enemy - ratings organizations like Human Rights Watch dock companies that do not have clear data integrity and security practices.

3. Only 7% of startups have a net-zero carbon strategy - this could be a differentiator for you as you pursue impact investments and/or growth funding.

Happy reading, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Tim
