Making Better Decisions on the Journey to Net-ZeroFeatured Topic
Environmental, Social and Governance Issues
We are on the verge of profound changes to both society and our economic and financial systems.
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities are critical to the corporate landscape. On top of the complexity of today’s business operating environment, organizations also need to address the evolving expectations of numerous stakeholders — such as regulators, investors, customers, insurers, employees, and even our broader society.
A holistic view of ESG issues helps organizations address risks while also capitalizing on opportunities — whether it is the routine consideration of oversight activities, practices and policies, and reporting, or topics such as governance, climate change, human capital management, and responsible investments. How a business decides to identify, address, measure and report on its ESG priorities will critically impact how it protects people and capital — and creates value.
