Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) matters are fast emerging as amongst the most significant risks facing companies around the world. ESG has become a headline issue for governments and the private sector, however most companies in Asia have only just begun to address the potential impact of ESG at the board level. The increasing call for clarity in ESG disclosure from regulators and shareholders alike has spurred board members, risk managers and senior corporate executives to examine this evolving management risk exposure. Environmental or climate change related legal and regulatory developments are fast shaping and transforming the governance of companies and their boards. Recent trends clearly point to this subject being more than just compliance related; in fact addressing ESG will be critical in ensuring that businesses remain sustainable in the long run.
In this webinar, our distinguished panelists will explore how issues relating to ESG should shape our thinking and practices from a professional liability insurance, governance and legal perspective.
