Understanding the Board's ESG Mandate

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) has become the next frontier in risk mitigation and long-term value creation. While ESG introduces high-stakes responsibilities for the board, it rests on the same overriding principles of traditional governance, including communicating execution of a strategy in alignment with corporate purpose, vision, and values. Forward-thinking boards will lean into ESG and view it is as an opportunity to improve business resilience while contributing to the greater benefit of all stakeholders.
