Even before the 2024 presidential election, the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) career landscape was rapidly evolving as organizations across industries increasingly prioritized sustainability, ethical governance, and social responsibility. What began as niche roles focused on compliance or environmental issues had expanded into a diverse array of opportunities, with professionals needed to manage everything from climate risk to corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs. As investors, global and national regulators, and consumers demand more transparency and accountability, businesses and industry have been increasingly integrating ESG principles into their core strategies. The 2024 election has introduced new uncertainties and organizations and practitioners must continue to adapt to a changing landscape.
Join us for a practitioner panel discussion on topics such as:
- Preparing for the next stage of regulatory requirements
- Understanding the emerging litigation framework
- How businesses are aligning their social impact initiatives with ESG goals
- How organizations are embedding ESG considerations into their core strategies
- Understanding ESG metrics and reporting frameworks and how companies are responding to investor and government pressure for better disclosures
- How to balance profitability with sustainability goals, manage stakeholder expectations, and overcoming resistance to ESG initiatives within organizations
