Environmental, Social, and Governance Concerns

Environmental, social, and governance topics are in sharp focus, with a combination of investor, employee, and customer interest. Corporate boards are taking note and in many cases, struggling with the massive scope of "ESG" and what it means for their organizations. How can boards evaluate where a company currently stands relative to ESG issues?

We believe many may already be in a position to connect the dots more clearly between ESG concepts and business and leadership strategies—and ultimately the compensation plans that drive both. Pearl Meyer's research for a recent NACD Governance Challenges report provides an in-depth guide for directors to begin this journey.
