There's no question that this is the way of the future. Companies and industries can either lead, follow, or get out of the way. But there's no question that ESG is not a moment. It is a movement.”

Set your ESG agenda

ESG (or environment, social, and governance) refers to a sweeping set of corporate practices to recognise the range of stakeholders in an organisation and—in the words of United Nations Global Council Strategic Development Goal 16—“Foster strong, effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions.” LRN proudly supports the UNGC SDG 16 framework as a patron and with insights from our decades of daily work with board directors, chief compliance officers, and ethics and compliance programme managers.  

Everyone from investors to employees to regulators like the SEC is turning their attention to ESG. Our expert advisors can help you assess the health of your strategic programmes, navigate pending regulations, and formulate your ESG priorities.  

“I think [the board] must start with this notion that we are all here for the good of the whole, for the good of the company, for the shareholder, and that we need to be open to diverse ideas and perspectives. That’s where it all begins.”
