In this series of the Future of Business, Vincent Wall and Mark Kennedy, with the help of several specialist guests will be assessing the growing importance of ESG, that's Environmental Social and Governance issues for businesses.
They will discuss how regulation and legislation at home and abroad and the rapidly evolving engagement of investors and other key stakeholders with ESG related policies and practices will increasingly determine operational success, reputations and the ability to attract customers and to recruit and retain talent.
Each episode aims to bring you a greater knowledge of the critical aspects of ESG and why it is crucial for people doing business in the modern world.
In this first episode of the series, Mark and Vincent discuss why we have chosen to create a series focusing on ESG and why it is important for people to take note of it.
