About the Private ESG Forum The ESG Forum supports manufacturers in adopting sustainable practices, and advancing inclusive growth.
Why ESG Forum ESG practices in manufacturing drive higher valuations, reduce the sector’s significant environmental impact, and increase consumer trust.
Objectives The objectives are to expose stakeholders to ESG practices, bridge knowledge gaps, and reduce bias against sustainable investment.

The Private Sector ESG Forum is a platform that supports manufacturers in adopting sustainable and responsible practices, connecting industry players, and providing resources to bridge knowledge gaps.

ESG practices are vital in manufacturing, driving business value and sustainability. Strong governance can raise valuations by 33%, while adopting cleaner processes helps cut the sector’s 70% share of global emissions.

By addressing common misconceptions and eliminating bias against sustainable investment, organizations can empower decision-makers to embrace ESG as both a strategic advantage and a pathway to long-term growth.
