Think You Know ESG? Our experts break it down.

ESG is everywhere, but what does it actually mean for your organisation, your projects, and the decisions being made behind the scenes?

In our latest podcast episode, ‘ESG Beyond the Buzzwords: Inside the decisions shaping our lives’, Buro Happold experts break down what ESG really looks like in practice - beyond headlines and high-level policy.

In this week’s short FOMO5 episode, taken from the full discussion, Richard Twinn, Associate Director at Buro Happold, explains how ESG has evolved from Corporate Social Responsibility:

“Businesses are being required to report against some of these ESG frameworks as part of their annual reporting, and this is mainly talking about the disclosure side and the investment side… but how that actually gets implemented in practice on projects - that’s where the really interesting stuff lies.”

Richard is joined by our regular host Andy Duncan and colleagues Trevor Keeling and Bianca Laura Latini.

If you want to understand ESG in a way that genuinely helps you make better decisions, this episode is worth a listen.

Keep an ‘ear’ out for next week’s FOMO5, where our experts dive deeper into how we measure the ‘S’ in ESG.

Subscribe to the whole series; Sometimes we’ll tackle a subject head on, sometimes a sideways view - but always with curiosity, expertise and maybe even a dash of humour.
