Abstract

Implementing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategies effectively continues to be a significant challenge for companies despite increasing regulatory and stakeholder demands. This paper outlines a structured framework for implementing ESG, focusing on governance oversight, stakeholder engagement, risk management, and budgetary alignment. The study shows how established practices in ESG implementation and governance theory can turn ESG commitments into tangible results by using policy design, setting measurable targets, documenting transparently, and planning financially. The research findings emphasize governance as the key enabler that combines environmental and social goals into the company's strategic planning process, thereby ensuring accountability, trust, and long-term business sustainability.
