ESG is a Moving Target: How Do Corporations Keep Up? (Online)
Location
Zoom
Event Description
ESG is becoming a more common framework used by corporations to communicate their CSR and Sustainability activities to stakeholders. One popular approach is for corporations to include an “ESG Hub” within their Sustainability Report.
However, ESG remains a moving target —
- There are numerous ESG standards from which a corporation might draw.
- Many ESG standards are still evolving and new ones proposed.
- Some metrics remain a work in progress.
- For multinational corporations, the EU and the US are taking very different approaches to ESG.
With such a fluid and uncertain ESG ecosystem, what are the best strategies for corporations to adopt? Join Professor John Forrer and Corinne Dougherty for a discussion on how to craft a good strategy to communicate social good work to policymakers.
Panelists include:
- John Forrer, PhD '91, Director of the Institute for Corporate Responsibility (ICR) and Associate Research Professor of Strategic Management & Public Policy, School of Business
- Corinne Dougherty, KPMG National ESG Audit Steering Committee Member
This event is open to all GW alumni and students and will take place online via Zoom.
