Among the most recognizable values credentials companies use to demonstrate their commitment to best practices are environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics. However, use of ESG in the strategies leads to miscommunication, where plain-language terms instead would build a shared understanding of sustainability goals. One solution for governments and companies to communicate more effectively is to use common and standardized terminology and shift the sustainability communication narrative from ESG to a globally recognized and standardized framework, such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
