ESG oversight: The corporate director’s guide

For many, the term ESG (environmental, social, governance), conjures notions of investors chasing feel-good stories of sustainability, diversity, and ethics. But given the heightened interests from various stakeholders, corporate directors know ESG is much more.

Leading companies view ESG issues as a business imperative.

Laggards still think of ESG as a check-the-box exercise grounded in philanthropic activities.
