ESG & Board Counselling - A Toolkit for Success

Introduction

This webinar addresses the evolving landscape of environmental, social, and governance (‘ESG’) priorities and their implications for corporate boards.

ESG considerations are no longer optional; they are a critical component of corporate strategy, risk management, and stakeholder relations.

Global ESG reporting frameworks and new legislation at EU level, including the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive as regards supply chains, highlight the importance of ESG disclosures and risk management.

A failure to adapt could result in reputational damage, legal penalties, and financial losses.

The webinar provides practical tools to enhance board performance, manage activist pressures, and tools for conducting robust corporate risk assessments.

You will learn to integrate ESG considerations into boardroom decisions, equip yourself with strategies to address activist investor campaigns and understand through practical examples the links between corporate risk vis-à-vis ESG.
