A training programme on ESG policy trends
Overview
The leadership development arm of an Indian multinational conglomerate sought to develop the understanding of its group of companies on environment, social and governance (ESG) issues.
Work
We covered the key environmental, social and governance issues, how materiality is determined by corporates and investors, and how ESG has evolved from approaches which seek to avoid negative impact to ones focused on positive outcomes. The webinar explored the various stakeholders to be aware of in the ESG industry, including standard setters, data and ranking providers, and policymakers. Finally, we addressed some of the key trends to watch, such as a renewed focus on biodiversity, supply chain due diligence and corporate responsibility in court.
Impact
The webinar was attended by more than 100 specialists across the client’s companies and helped them gain a better foundational understanding of ESG, including the various industry players to be aware of, and where pressure (both in the form of regulatory pressures and broader societal expectations) are likely to come from in the coming years.
