Expert Talk – Your ESG Strategy: Risk, Regulation and Reporting

In many ways, ESG has traditionally been about the following regulation—and with good reason. Globally, there has been an uptick in ESG policy interventions such as the SEC climate disclosure, greenwashing fines in the EU, and the push in Australia to integrate climate targets into law. 

However, ESG has an ever-increasing remit that goes beyond disclosures and into risk management, reporting to internal and external stakeholders, and building brand equity. Without the right kind of ESG strategy, organizations risk business growth, talent attraction and retention, and institutional investors’ support. When done right, ESG reporting can be far more than an act of compliance.

1. Leverage ESG data with a skeptical and data-fatigued audience
2. Tie ESG metrics to business goals
