Measurements that Matter Part IV

We hope you’ll join us for Part IV of our series Measurements that Matter. In this session, we will discuss the necessity for measuring impact and how that is being viewed by regulators and the financial markets around the world.

Companies are facing rapidly evolving regulatory requirements as well as increasing demands and pressures from shareholders, customers, vendors, employees and other stakeholders to consider and disclose how they’re addressing various ESG issues. The world is quickly changing and ESG considerations are fundamental to companies in assessing current and future business risks. Companies can also embrace ESG to leverage opportunities to stand out in the marketplace by proactively communicating the company’s initiatives.
