Business Briefing: The Future of ESG Governance

Tuesday, September 30th

In the wake of ongoing shifts in global ESG priorities, the governance dimension is under growing scrutiny from investors, regulators, and other stakeholders. While recent debates have often focused on climate and DEI, the question of how companies oversee, direct, and embed ESG into their decision-making is moving rapidly up the boardroom agenda.

Join BAB for a virtual discussion on the future of ESG governance. In this session, we will explore how directors’ duties related to ESG oversight are evolving in both the U.S. and UK, how companies are adapting their ESG governance strategies in increasingly polarized times, and what best practices are emerging for navigating these pressures.

We will be joined by corporate voices from BAB’s membership to share practical insights on how they are approaching the challenges and opportunities of ESG governance today.

 

Date: Tuesday, September 30th
Time: 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm BST | 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
Location: Zoom
