ESG and aerospace and defence

As Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) becomes increasingly prominent, organisations involved in the aerospace and defence industry must address the challenges and identify growth opportunities. 

There are many drivers of the ESG agenda for aerospace and defence companies, depending on where they sit in the value chain and whether they are public or private organisations. Regardless, those that lead on ESG are most likely to find competitive advantage and create better value for stakeholders.

Our latest report offers a framework on how the sector can consider and introduce practical initiatives that address ESG ambitions, identify growth opportunities and meet stakeholder needs while also creating value.
