In September 2020, we began the launch of our three-part ESG Directors' Liabilities series to discuss the liabilities that directors may face in the Environmental, Social and Governance risk aspects of ESG. This is the second one of our series focusing on the S- Social, which you can re-watch above.
ESG is a broad term but with three main components; Environmental, Social and Governance. These topics are becoming increasingly more important, but what is it all about?
Environmental
This refers to natural resources and includes topics such as climate change, sustainability and pollution.
Social
This refers to how a company treats its employees and covers topics such as humans rights, standards of labour, health and safety, inclusion and diversity, and how a company manages its talent. We talk about the social aspects of ESG in the webinar featured on this page.
Governance
Governance is one that directors and officers may be most familiar with and covers topics such as board structures and remuneration, business ethics, accounts standards, data security and privacy, and much more.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
