ESG comms explained

  • Written by FinTech Futures
  • 30th March 2021

Hello, my name is Gihan A.M. Hyde, and I am the CEO and founder of CommUnique.

We are a team of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) corporate communication specialists. Our mission is to help you boost the value of your ESG story so that you can attract the right employees, the right customers and the right investors. Simple as that!

My team is a diverse group of ESG communication specialists from ‘underdeveloped’ countries and under-represented communities in all corners of the globe.

In this column, I will be providing you with my thoughts regarding ESG “do’s and don’ts”, latest trends in the space and updates that will impact you as a fintech company.

Feel free to like, share and subscribe!

You are also welcome to connect with me on LinkedIn and Twitter @Gehanam.

I hope you enjoy!

Why fintechs can’t afford to swipe left on ESG

Fintech companies are uniquely positioned to lead the way in integrating ESG.

The impact of behavioural science and nudges on ESG communications

Behavioural science and nudges can be used to drive ESG change and build a more sustainable future.

The power of AI for ESG

AI is a powerful tool that can be used to improve ESG practices and compliance.

The difference between ESG and sustainability communications is more than just a report

Sustainability communications and ESG communications are two related but distinct concepts.

Why you should care about your organisation’s ESG materiality assessment

Materiality assessments help firms identify ESG priorities and improve the design of their comms campaigns.

It’s not all evil, crypto can also do good

Consumers, regulators and investors are all interested in solving this technology’s climate impact.

Fintech and its impact on the agricultural sector

Fintech can help connect farmers with finance and boost financial inclusion.

The role of the payments industry in saving people and planet

Changing the way we make payments can have a substantial positive impact on our society’s carbon emissions.

How to make your fintech a solutionary organisation and not a problem-solving one

Imagine the change you could cause simply by taking a solutionary approach to your fintech’s ESG policies.

Climate anxiety is a real threat to the financial industry

Fostering positivity will be what helps your stakeholders (and you!) maintain positive mental health.

How education plays a key role in embedding an ESG mindset

ESG education is necessary, and the time to start learning is now.

How to get investors on board with your ESG journey

I recently spoke with Delta Capita's Leeya Hendricks to get her perspective on all things ESG investing.

What is social impact and how can you measure it?

Focusing on your social impact can help build strong community links and boost brand loyalty.

Eight fintech firms with impressive people and planet initiatives

Fintechs are in a unique position to build ESG criteria into the foundations of their businesses.

How to tell if an organisation is greenwashing – and how to avoid doing it yourself

Learning to market ethically is a journey you need to own.

How to write your first ‘people and planet’ policies as a fintech organisation

A good ‘people and planet’ ESG policy should make it clear how you're pushing for positive change.

Communicating climate change: a laughing matter for fintechs?

Like the court jesters of previous ages, being funny and communicating effectively can be compatible.

How fintech can help women and girls solve the climate crisis

If you want to help save the planet, gender equality should be at the heart of climate action.

How important is language when it comes to communicating climate change?

Climate change has a global audience, and your communications need to reflect this.

How will the Green Claims Code affect you as a fintech?

The Green Claims Code legislation aims to eradicate greenwashing once and for all.

It’s a matter of comms | Episode 9 | Demystifying scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions

What are scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and how can businesses start recording and reporting on them?

It’s a matter of comms | Episode 8 | ESG and new talent

New talent in the fintech industry consider ESG to be an important factor when accepting new roles.

It’s a matter of comms | Episode 7 | Carbon

Carbon neutral vs net zero vs zero carbon; and how to embed them within your business model.

It’s a matter of comms | Episode 6 | DEI

In this #itsamatterofcomms vlog, we discuss how D&I is incorporated within ESG reporting and initiatives.

It’s a matter of comms | Episode 5 | B Corp
