We are long past the time when environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues can be considered a new topic of discussion, as these factors have been of increasing importance to both corporations and their investors for decades.
However, the roadmap for how companies will respond to ESG pressures, particularly in the E (environmental) category is still being written. We also know that there will be no universal roadmap applicable to all and that corporate processes and structures must continue to evolve to meet the demands of policy makers, investors and competition from industry peers.
In this report we, have curated content for CFO’s and their treasury and procurement teams in hopes of providing inspiration, knowledge and insights into the common hurdles faced by companies building their own ESG roadmap. We will discuss topics of ESG data and disclosures, business incentives and trends, plus methods for revealing climate and reputational risks in your supply chain:
1. Opening the black box of ESG data. It’s not always pretty.
2. How much influence do investors really have in achieving ESG goals?
3. Mandatory climate and ESG reporting can create new value
4. Finding the climate-related risks to your supply chain
5. More ESG data might increase buyer leverage over their suppliers
