ESG reporting is now a prerequisite for many businesses seeking vendors and partners. ESG goals can help an enterprise provide transparency and accountability within the workplace. ESG reporting helps an organization expand its horizons, find sustainable solutions, and practice inclusivity and diversity.
One way to achieve ESG goals is through value-added services like diversity spending. Diversity spending is the money spent in partnering with minority-owned businesses such as women-owned businesses. Diversity is a point of interest in the business world, and many companies seek out partnerships with minority-owned organizations.
Partnering with a woman-owned business helps achieve social ESG goals, which focus on a company’s relationship with its employees, clients, and community, how it performs regarding managing employee health and safety, and its stances on public issues such as human rights and labor standards.
Diversity and inclusion have become public issues many companies are trying to rectify by maintaining yearly supplier diversity programs in which they identify and do business with diverse companies.
