Dr Peter Simpson, MD/Global Head of Safety, Security & ESG, Standard Chartered
Go to work next week and start impacting and adding value to the sustainability and ESG agenda. You might already be doing more than you realise.
ESG and Sustainability are more than buzzwords, they are issues that Boards, clients, customers, shareholders, staff and other stakeholders care and talk about. They are topics that often must be disclosed in annual reports and other disclosure and investment documents. LinkedIn posts are full of companies and CEOs talking about ESG and Sustainability. But despite all this, there is often confusion and uncertainty around ESG and sustainability; what is it, who owns it, does it add value? And it is certainly a high-profile growth area that people want to be a part of.
This roundtable will unpack what ESG and Sustainability are. We’ll discuss what companies are doing in this space, and specifically what OHS teams are doing and contributing. You’ll walk away with a practical knowledge of what you and your team can start doing when you return to work. Or you may find that you are already contributing to ESG without being fully aware, and thus can promote and champion this in your organisation. OHS teams can add value and impact to the ESG space, and can embed themselves into this high-profile growth area.
