The non-profit stakeholders are the ones who have interest in your non-profit companies. As we can see that the non-profit organizations have low funds and budgets. The stakeholders are also concerned about the ESG factors, butthe non-profit stakeholders are the ones who play role in ESG of a company. The donations, and funding by stakeholders can help the company in maintaining the environmental and social issues in the organization. Taking care or environment and social environment is an act of moral and maintaining the environmental sustainability. And non-profit organizations take these issues more seriously and give them priority, because the stakeholders of these type of companies need to take care of the things.
Part E
Variances between the ESG Priorities
The Oddo analysts considered the health and safety standards as low rates as compared to others sectors. However, in today’s world; health safety standards are important for all the sectors to ensure and comply. Safe work place environments are important to implement within the telecom industry. Telecom companies like British Telecom, have also implemented it, as no harm to employees and other workers must be ensured.
Additionally, the environmental standards related to carbon emission and pollution protection are not incorporated in the ESG priorities set by the Oddo analysts. However, as mentioned, there are multiple restrictions and fines imposed by the pollution and emission made by Telecom companies like other sectors. The British Telecom is focused on the modern ESG priorities, like: carbon foot prints and pollution protection. These environmental protection based ESG priorities need to be incorporated in the measurement of stocks by the Oddo analysts.
Part F
As the in previously discussed parts; we see that the company has both lists available and the case that discusses the important factors, but to make the decision; we still need more research and data to take decision, because there are many factors that we should study, such as: at what rate the company is depleting, how much the business actions are affecting the overall environment. How much potential does the company have and resources which it possesses. We can clearly see that the rate of carbon emission and other environmental issues have not been discussed in the study. There are other factors which are necessary, such as: what are the goals of the company and what are the possible ways which the company can utilize to achieve its goals and set its priorities. Furthermore, the information will give a clear picture of how the whole situation will work and what are the major issues that need immediate actions taken by the company.
Moreover, to get the information required to get the idea and clear picture and make decision of investment; the share value, earning per share and ratios analysis will help the company to make decision. Further, what technology the company uses and how much potential does it have to make things work. The value creation and the company’s value in the industry. These things help in making the situation clear to us and decision of investment would be easier to make. Investment decision should be made with clear mind and by having sufficient data.
Part G
On the basis of given information; it is recommended that British Telecom is rated higher in establishing the ESG priorities, as the company meets most of the environmental, social and governance standards. However, from the financial perspective; France Telecom is a good opportunity to invest in, because the company has a higher return on equity, price to earnings ratio and a higher revenue growth, which is negative in case of British Telecom...............
