This briefing summarizes key themes and insights from an EHS Today article published in March 2025, written by Adam Freedgood, a sustainability consultant and co-founder at Third Partners. Freedgood analyzes the evolving intersection of Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) functions with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and corporate sustainability. The article highlights the significant impact of a new federal administration's reversal of certain ESG initiatives and the resulting volatility in the political, policy, and economic climates. It emphasizes the crucial role of EHS professionals in navigating this uncertainty, proactively managing risks, and identifying opportunities related to energy management, circularity, decarbonization, climate risks, supply chain sustainability, pollution reduction, and DEI. Freedgood underscores the importance for companies to reprioritize their sustainability efforts to focus on creating "shared value" by aligning societal needs, company capabilities, and corporate purpose.
