A closer look at stewardship

At a time when business and society have become inextricably intertwined, corporate stewardship has evolved beyond its traditional paradigm. As a result, today's corporate stewards face the challenges of navigating a landscape that demands a more comprehensive approach—one that integrates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into the core fabric of business operations.

WTW's Global stewardship model

This model serves as a comprehensive framework guiding responsible decision-making and value creation in corporate stewardship. There are five key dimensions: Performance, Protection, People, Purpose and Planet.

• People: Uplifting and sustaining individual and shared humanity through dignity, wellbeing, compassion, mutual awareness, inclusion and fairness
• Purpose: Defining and connecting individual and organization purpose, the reason an organization exists and what it stands for, and activating it for every member
• Performance: Driving superior individual and organization performance through learning, innovation, transformation, organization and supporting programs
• Protection: Reducing individual and organization uncertainty and loss by identifying, assessing, mitigating and managing one-time and ongoing risks and increasing resilience
• Planet: Protecting and sustaining our shared home of Earth, through climate management, biodiversity, resource protection and environmental safeguarding
