The ESG challenge; transforming burden to benefit Environmental, Social and Governance (‘ESG’) is no longer an option, it’s a necessity. Stakeholders factor it into the decisions they make – that brings both risk and reward. Boards need to pay heed to mandatory requirements. But they must also ensure their ESG agenda meshes with their strategic vision to deliver long-term competitive advantage.
How are organisations rising to meet the ‘ESG challenge’ and how is the ESG landscape evolving? The Webinar in particular considered the areas of:
- Who are the actual custodians of ESG?
- Lifting the load; how best to approach the ESG reporting burden
- Embedding ESG for long-term competitive advantage
