You can’t read a business article these days without mention of ESG – Environment, Stewardship, Governance. ESG is a commitment that everyone from Fortune 100 companies to mom & pop stores are making to be responsible for the environment and the way they treat clients, customers, and employees. Wyoming could be the leader in this space.
· Wyoming is in the forefront of land stewardship at the top levels of government and the day to day workings of landowners stewarding their own land.
· Wyoming has a vibrant energy sector with oil, gas, and coal and could be the leader in carbon sequestration in those very areas.
· Wyoming is already associated with conservation and the great outdoors.
· Wyoming could attract massive economic development by being the leader in ESG.
Just one question: Will we?
Or are we focused on the past and our to-do list for today. The role of ESG leader and the subsequent benefits is on the table for Wyoming to pick up.
We sure hope the corporations, businesses, and policymakers will. We know the path if you’d like to talk about it.
