Kursinnehåll

Organizations are increasingly under pressure to understand and manage ESG risks, particularly as investors and regulators focus on organizations producing accurate and reliable reporting on sustainability efforts. That pressure is being reflected in executive performance as more organizations tie incentive compensation metrics to ESG goals. Additional risk areas associated with ESG are varied and can include reliance on third-party data, potential reputational damage from faulty reporting, and the real possibility that an organization’s explicit commitments to meet specific sustainability goals could grow into a material weakness.
