Trusted ESG Metrics: The New ‘Must-Have’ for High Growth Businesses

ESG has moved quickly up the priority list for organisations of all sizes. Small and midsized, fast-growing businesses also must chart a strategy for how they’ll adhere to one.

Today, investors increasingly consider ESG factors in their decisions, and customers and employees want to understand the ESG credentials of the brands they buy and the businesses they work for. And for organisations in regulated industries, the demands of ESG reporting are becoming more and more rigorous.

So, tracking and evidencing ESG metrics is essential today. With standard NetSuite tools such as NetSuite Planning and Budgeting and NetSuite Analytics Warehouse, it’s easy. As well as helping you to run your business, NetSuite can help you store the right data and report against frameworks such as GRI and CSRD.

Back in 2016, The Cheeky Panda’s founders Julie Chen and Chris Forbes were struck by the amount of surplus bamboo going to waste in a factory they were visiting. Fast forward seven years, and The Cheeky Panda has grown into a £12-million business transforming this sustainable material into eco-friendly tissue paper and wipes. It’s quite a journey from a home-based business to a certified B Corp selling over 16 products in 25 countries.
