In a recently published Forbes HR Council article, Sandra Mahadwar, chief inclusion and diversity officer and senior vice president of talent management at KLA, discusses the importance of ensuring a company’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies are reflective of the company’s core values, and how integral these initiatives are to attracting and retaining talent. She adds that as part of attracting high-quality candidates, an ESG program shouldn’t be an afterthought; rather, it must be an extension of the brand and one with which employees want to engage.

“For a company to have a successful and empowered workforce, its employees must buy into, believe and engage with the foundational values of the company, which requires their employer to give them the opportunity to do so.”

Ms. Mahadwar notes that a key building block to an effective ESG program is that it’s rooted in driving impact and doing the right thing. You can read the full article originally published on Forbes.com below.
