I trust this finds you well. I am excited to introduce you ESG.ORG, our primary objective and area of focus is to provide unprecedented opportunity to create, evolve and solve some of the hardest challenges we face as an ESG community. 
 

ESG.ORG was founded in 2018, our organization taps into the vast experience of the world’s best environmental, risk and governance professionals and companies. ESG.ORG provides practitioners an opportunity to network, receive awards and create measures for the sustainability and societal impact of their organizations. 
 

I founded ESG.ORG after 16 years of running eGRC.COM which is a boutique Governance, Risk and Compliance consulting firm. eGRC.COM is fortunate enough to provide services in the global Fortune community, with an emphasis on large financial services institutions. 
 

After each engagement, we found ourselves creating baselines of governance related output, information, and activities, from Process Flows to Risk Calculations, leveraging the same capabilities and activities across entities. The lexicon of knowledge is the gift from eGRC.COM to ESG.ORG along with a clear mission and mandate to support the ESG.ORG practitioner community in establishing, Rules, Norms, and Institutional Mechanisms to support our blossoming industry. 
 

In large part, I founded ESG.ORG to provide us the practitioners with the support that we require to assist our respective companies to navigate the unchartered waters of ESG.
