The sustainability regulatory landscape is rapidly evolving. Companies are increasingly required to conduct human rights and environmental due diligence and publicly disclose information on diverse environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics, including climate, corruption and human rights, in their value chain.
Navigating new sustainability legislation is challenging but companies have existing expertise and processes they can leverage, including as part of their approach to anti-corruption and integrity.
In response to the need for companies to expand their compliance efforts to meet these requirements, our new guidance for boards, Ethics & Compliance, Legal and ESG/sustainability professionals provides practical insights on:
- Setting up an ESG governance system grounded on principles of accountability, integrity and transparency.
- Leveraging ethics & compliance, legal and sustainability expertise and processes to coordinate and strengthen corruption and sustainability risk management.
Join our online launch with project partners PwC UK and Novartis on Thursday 27 February, 12:30-13:00 GMT for recommendations on how your company can respond to the changing regulatory environment, informed by findings from interviews with over 45 ethics & compliance, legal, financial crime, risk and sustainability practitioners.
