ESG has considerations relevant to analysts and investors, consumers and employees, and it has become a key topic of discussion at the Board table. This course provides an overview of an ESG framework and how it supports a company’s overall risk management. It examines each component in detail and provides insight into how they converge to impact a company and its stakeholders.
