Webcast Overview

Stakeholder interests have driven more than 450 companies in the S&P 500 to make voluntary disclosures regarding environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters. Whether the current form of the SEC’s rule or some alternative comes into effect, given such stakeholder interests, every public company and any private company looking to go public should consider their readiness to meet the reporting requirements of this rule as well as additional voluntary reporting regimes such as SASB, GRI and CDP.
Organizations are looking to their board of directors and counsel to consider how to approach ESG governance, decision-making, reporting and risk oversight. Our panel of experts will provide practical insight for board members on creating ESG strategies that are responsive to stakeholders.
Following this session, attendees will be able to:

• Distinguish how material issues are identified and ways a board should oversee them
• Explain the benefits of composing a plan to approach sustainability goals while focusing on profits
• Articulate what ESG may look like in the future.
