ESG Advantage in 2026: make sustainability a business driver
– I would like to focus on an internal benefit that my client has recently emphasized to me: improved internal coordination and collaboration, because by implementing ESG and starting with a materiality approach –meaning identifying which impacts, risks, and opportunities truly matter to the business – you bring internal stakeholders together, give them space to talk, and often they do so in such a group for the first time. It is like an ex-ray of the entire organisation and its processes
In new video interview, Baker Tilly’s ESG Assurance Group leaders Arnaud Bergero (ESG Service Leader for Baker Tilly France, Chair of the Baker Tilly International Advisory Community ) and Katarzyna Chwalbińska-Kusek (Partner and Head of ESG Advisory, Baker Tilly TPA, Chair of the Baker Tilly International ESG Assurance Group) share with Harsh Maheshwari (Global Advisory Services Leader, Baker Tilly) what they see across markets and industries: the organisations that win are those that integrate ESG into one business strategy, measure the impact, and turn it into concrete and deliverable actions.
Watch the video and discover Baker Tilly’s pragmatic approach: global expertise, local relevance, concrete and deliverable actions.
Key takeaways:
ESG is now evaluated in tenders – creating real commercial upside for companies that are ahead
ESG can deliver measurable ROI through cost reduction and operational efficiency (when it’s measured)

Baker Tilly’s approach is pragmatic, competitive advantage driven, and grounded in local market realities
