ESG 实施提高公司竞争力
The easing of the Covid-19 pandemic is considered a good moment for the industrial world to improve performance. The biggest opportunity to spur performance is owned by companies that place a social governance environment (ESG) in managing their business.
“In this case, companies that implement ESG will be highly competitive. Every company that is concerned about implementing ESG can get a number of benefits, including being competitive and managing risk well. Moreover, after the pandemic began to subside," said public policy observer Trubus Rahadiansyah, Wednesday (25/4/2022).
According to him, risk management provides guidance on the resilience of the worst risks in terms of future development of the company. In addition, ESG has an effect on low cost of capital and high valuation, efficient, and sustainable.
For companies that have implemented ESG, said Trubus, they will have the resilience to change to a developing situation. "The resulting product will be easily accepted by all parties and the community will feel safe and protected and become part of the product," continued Trubus.
Although it requires the use of the right technology, ESG implementation provides support for the environment of the future. One company that is committed to continuing to develop ESG initiatives is PT Gunung Raja Paksi Tbk (GRP/GGRP), the largest private steel company in the country. The company based in Cikarang, West Java, has shown a commitment to implementing a green strategy by buying carbon credits.
According to GRP President Director Abednedju Giovano Warani Sangkaeng, although the regulation of carbon credits still requires further study, GRP is one of the first steel companies in Asia to implement a green strategy by purchasing carbon credits.
The man who is familiarly called Argo added that the company has just received an environmental product declaration (EPD) certificate for the three products which are type III environmental labels. It shows the environmental performance of steel products throughout their life cycle.
"The green strategy has a strategic role, because in the future, world infrastructure players and developers will move towards green metals by pressing steel suppliers to be green certified," said Argo.
