Senior Vice President of Investor Relations Yan Jin

In the latest from Eaton’s Leadership Insights series, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations Yan Jin shares how companies can best respond to the evolution in investor priorities around environmental, social, governance (ESG) factors: https://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/company/news-insights/leadership-insight/esg-is-mission-critical.html 

“At Eaton, we’ve been on a journey to focus on ESG as a critical part of our mission. We’ve found that prioritizing ESG requires a thoughtful strategy,” Jin says. “First, determine your company’s unique vision for positive impact, then set clear goals and measure progress, and finally, report publicly and transparently the results of your efforts.”

First, Jin says, it’s critical that companies determine how their vision drives ESG strategy. To truly meet this moment, ESG considerations must be core to the organization’s mission – one that must center on making a positive impact.

“Only a truly values-based company will succeed, because they’re not just reacting to outside pressures or ‘checking the box’ on ESG, but rather acting on their vision of improving the world in some unique way,” writes Jin.

The key: recognizing that ESG data is just as important as the financial metrics companies have historically prioritized. Prioritizing ESG data requires collective action throughout the enterprise.
