What does the ‘G’ in ESG mean?

What does the ‘G’ in ESG mean? This episode of the Environmental Transformation Podcast features a conversation between host Sean Grady and David W Duffy, co-founder and CEO of the Corporate Governance Institute.

The podcast explores why ESG now drives so much focus for boards and their directors. It also examines:

• The simple explanation to start us off
• Why companies are embracing ESG
• What good governance means
• How to get on a board
• The skills of good board members
• Directors’ roles and responsibilities
• ESG strategy

Remember: you can also take your understanding to the next level by completing the Diploma in ESG.

Increasingly, directors are expected to integrate ESG into the core of business strategy. It’s not a side-project; it’s a central foundation.

Governance professionals who don’t have this foundational knowledge, therefore, risk making themselves irrelevant in the recruitment process and in the eyes of shareholders. Not being able to process or report on matters relating to the planet, its people, or the company’s own structure will not help you land that first board role or win you re-election. It also won’t look good to regulators, who are getting more strict about the standards of governance they will tolerate.

Fortunately, training is available to boost your ESG career and enrich your CV with a globally recognised qualification.
