Delivering ESG Assurance in the New Era of Corporate Integrity

ESG – Environment, Social, Governance – is a critical focus for organizations worldwide and across industries. ESG has been a buzzword for a while now. Still, while it may already be a reality for big businesses and certain industries, the truth is that most companies are still scratching the surface. Pressures come from all angles: corporate investors, stakeholders, boards, regulators, employees, customers, partners, and society in general. Organizations have to do something for ESG, and the pressures are mounting.

At the end of the day, ESG is about the organization’s integrity. What the organization commits to in policies and ESG statements in the context of environmental, social, and governance practices has to be a reality and not smoke and mirrors. Organizations must demonstrate they are serious about their ESG commitments and live by them. There is an ongoing fight to address greenwashing. ESG assurance is a growing requirement for organizations. To stay ahead of the curve, join GRC Expert, Michael Rasmussen, as he shares how organizations should approach ESG assurance in this new era of corporate integrity.
