How CSCOs are Aligning ESG with Long-Term Business Value
According to Morgan Stanley’s “Sustainable Signals: Corporates 2025”, a substantial 88% of companies globally recognise sustainability as a critical opportunity for long-term value creation.
Energy reduction and waste minimisation often result in overall efficiency gains, pivotal in supply chain operations.
Aligning with broad societal goals fosters trust and enhances the regulatory environment, which can be crucial in sustaining value over time, as noted by the World Economic Forum.
At Sustainability LIVE: Climate Week NYC 2025, leaders from diverse industries, including Mercer and Hilton, will discuss these themes on the Sustainability & Shareholder Value panel with Novisto.
Sustainability in supply chains as a value creator
In its Travel With Purpose report, Hilton says: “Travel with Purpose is good for our people, hotels and communities – and it is good for our business”.
Smurfit Westrock’s 2024 Sustainability report agrees: “We believe sustainable business is good business. We back this up with years of reporting by both legacy companies.”
“In 2024, we proved what’s right for the planet is right for our business,” says Culligan International. “Driven by our mission, our commitment to operating as a sustainability leader upholds our values and delivers lasting value for our customers, employees, communities and world.”
In its 2025 Sustainability Policy, Mercer says: “Mercer believes climate change poses a systemic risk and recognises that limiting global average temperature increases this century… is likely to be aligned with the best financial outcome for long-term diversified investors, such as those who typically invest in the Funds.”
Novisto’s sustainability management software is centralised to empower businesses in tapping into ESG data for creating value, reinforcing the importance of data-driven approaches in managing complex supply chain networks.
