Webinar: ESG - Environmental, Social, and Governance - What You Need to Know

The topic of Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) is very important as sustainability becomes more of a priority. As consumers grow to be more environmentally and socially conscious, businesses must keep up with their demands as well as the regulations set in place by the government.

In this webinar, we covered an overview of ESG plan formulation and maintenance, as well as its related challenges.

Speakers Michael Scarpa and Ruth Tang and Frank Manahan of KPMG, along with our own Max Kemnitzer (Managing Director of Banking and Financial Services), discussed the current regulatory environment, managing your business’s ESG score, and balancing both the environmental and social aspects of the topic.

Core Topics covered: 

• US/Global regulatory environment around ESG
• Measurement and reporting considerations around ESG, including current frameworks, metrics, and challenges
• Climate risk framework overview, risk integration considerations, and data challenges
• Sustainable finance opportunities and challenges for the FS sector
