ESG & Sustainability
The cascade of interest in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues and enterprise sustainability more broadly is being felt acutely within companies and corporate boardrooms. Pressure is mounting from many sides, in particular institutional and activist investors, employees and customers. The lack of more urgent action, including increasing disclosure and engaging with stakeholders, on issues such as climate change, workforce diversity, human capital management and cybersecurity, is increasingly subjecting companies to greater stakeholder scrutiny and activism.
