In this final episode of ESG in Practice season 1, Jeanett Bergan explores ESG's evolution from an emerging trend over 20 years ago to an important part of investment strategy.

Drawing on her extensive experience, both on the investment side as well as implementing ESG in large multinationals, she highlights how investors early on recognized the long-term benefits of robust sustainability practices for risk management.

The conversation shifts from reporting to real implementation—engaging suppliers, performing audits, and leveraging technology to secure timely, transparent data.

Ultimately, companies that excel in ESG not only mitigate risks but also demonstrate strong management and long-term stability, which can drive superior financial performance.
