Please join us for a discussion about how companies are balancing the bottom-line with environmentally and socially responsible governance.<\/p>\n
Key discussion topics to include:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Integration of ESG into business strategy and compliance programs\u00a0<\/strong>– ESG is not \u201cnew\u201d particularly in the business and legal spheres. But how companies address ESG is becoming less prescriptive and requires more tailoring of the risks and opportunities respective of their business strategy and embedded into their culture of compliance in order to ensure a sustainable approach.<\/p>\n Understanding and applying ESG standards and regulations<\/strong>\u00a0– The universe of ESG standards is wide and often confusing while country-specific regulations are rolling out at a quick clip. We discuss approaches for understanding which ESG standards may be most relevant to your business and current and emerging regulations to address now. We will also discuss ratings and how to align with standards reporting.<\/p>\n Developing ESG metrics and goals for now and for a sustainable future –<\/strong>\u00a0Prevailing market sentiment has been and still continues to focus on using metrics for measuring ESG performance, primarily for climate and carbon goals. However, without properly tying metrics back to strategic initiatives and understanding the explicit financial impact, the measures can prove to be meaningless for sustainability and building a more resilient organization. We will further explore operational opportunities for implementing ESG initiatives in procurement, supply chain, and as part of asset management.<\/p>\n
