Responsibilities

ESG - Environmental, Social and Governance, refers to the three categories that enable businesses to measure the real sustainable and societal impact of their outputs. ESG is a response to the growing demand for transparency on sustainable and socially responsible practices in corporate management.

AMCHAM T&T's ESG Committee will act as a forum for the education and exchange of ideas on current issues affecting in the realms of ESG. We have already started working with the UN Office in T&T to develop an ESG toolkit for the local private sector.

This Committee will be in addition to our long-standing HSE Committee with opportunities for collaboration between the two, however, each will operate independently. Therefore, the ESG committee will initially focus on:

• Understanding how ESG/Sustainability standards are applied in Trinidad and Tobago.
  
  
• Identifying the ESG/Sustainability initiatives, accomplishments, and needs of AMCHAM T&T members.
  
  
• Sharing of information, best practices, and lessons learned with the aim of supporting continual improvements in the ESG performance of participating AMCHAM T&T members and the wider business community.
