Synopsis and overview of the session

Whether motivated by investor pressure or competitive market advantages, organisations are incorporating environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) initiatives into their corporate strategies. As companies move from ESG vision to action, they need a clear way to monitor the status of all of their ESG initiatives – especially for organisations that operate across global jurisdictions.  Using an integrated risk management (IRM) solution enables organisations to track and monitor ESG risks across the enterprise, helping to identify key trends and undiscovered risks.

Focus Network in partnership with Diligent invite you to join this upcoming private gathering where we will delve deeper into:

• Why and how companies should approach ESG
• The shifting goal posts and tradeoffs that are now apparent for organisations when it come to an effective ESG model
• Acknowledging that ESG isn’t a blackbox with magic inputs, rather it’s about putting ESG into a more quantifiable framework that better sits with existing reporting/risk management requirements.
