Aon Webinar – Workplace Futures: The Value of the ‘Social Contract’ in ESG
Release Date: May 2022 On 31 March 2022, Dominic Christian, Global Chairman Reinsurance Solutions at Aon, member of the Aon Global Executive and Deputy Chairman of Lloyd’s, hosted a webinar that reviewed the complex topic of ESG through the lens of socially ethical business practices.
Failure to be true to ‘good’ moral standards in professional relationships, how you treat your workforce and how you approach to interactions with your local community can lead to reputational damage. In some instances, there can also be financial damage and executive liability.
