In today's business world, ESG (environmental, social, and governance) concerns have become a more pressing issue and ESG practices have shifted from being voluntary to becoming mandatory due to new regulations and increasing demands from stakeholders. ESG factors play a significant role in a company's ability to attract investors, secure financing, and maintain long-term viability. Owing to this, the space needs adept consulting services, especially for sectors that are not traditionally associated with ESG concerns. Helping such businesses to establish and implement ESG practices is Credibl, a sustainability consulting & tech company from San Francisco Bay Area, California.
Headquartered in the US, Credibl is envisioned by Jitesh Shetty, Co-founder and CEO, along with Sushil Choudhari and Parth Patil. Its presence extends across various locations including Dubai, Riyadh, Pune, and Mumbai. The company aims to guide organizations toward their sustainability goals by helping them measure, manage, and report ESG data more effectively.
