This program explores the evolving landscape of governance in the context of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. Speakers Ameena Majid and Giovanna (Gina) Ferrari discuss how governance serves as the foundation for effectively managing ESG matters, which are increasingly politicized and require a proactive, strategic approach. They emphasize the need to re-visit organizational structures to ensure ESG topics are integrated based on their relevance to mission-critical areas and/or areas identified as appropriate for board oversight given changes in business models and stakeholders. The program also highlights the importance of having the right controls, checks, and balances in place, especially for environmental and social statements, as well as the crucial role of legal counsel in navigating the complex regulatory environment.
