This is an open access book.

In the spotlight of contemporary discourse, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices have emerged as a captivating focal point. Yet, how ready are we as a society for the socio-economic and environmental risks facing the nation and the world? This conference aims to provide a platform for scholars to discuss issues pertaining to the evaluation of risks and achievement of goals that support ESG practices in business and other domains of society.

In this light, both theoretical and practical considerations of how humanity confronts and considers the principle of sustainability, i.e. people, planet, profit and prosperity, will need to be unpacked. Important and workable solutions become significant conference outputs which shall provide answers to long-running problems related to sustainable practices globally. In particular, critical strategies for a circular economy, green investing and sustainable living are urgently required and therefore are at the forefront of this conference.

Research and knowledge in the disciplines of Management, Economics, Social Sciences, and the Humanities as they pertain to ESG practices, applications, challenges and innovation will be highlighted in the conference. Therefore, the International Conference on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ICESG 2024) welcomes papers from a wide variety of interdisciplinary, industry, and theoretical perspectives to discuss issues under the theme “Environmental, Social, and Governance Strategy for Sustainability" towards the sustenance of people, planet profit and prosperity (4Ps).
