Why Should You Attend
Organisations, both globally and within the African Continent, have a heightened awareness about environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues as investors, regulators, and the community at large are demanding greater transparency and board accountability. Organizations that prioritize ESG will drive value and mitigate risks to operations and the bottom line over time.
ESG’s relevance for businesses and investors is well understood. However, governments in Africa haven’t caught up. A real opportunity exists for governments to support strong and consistent ESG reporting, raise the bar for performance, communicate success to different stakeholder audiences, and provide clarity for investors. These actions will help companies to be attractive to investors.
This highly interactive Course will unpack an overview of an ESG framework and how it supports an organisation’s overall performance and risk management. It will examine each component in detail and provide insight into how they converge to impact an organisation and its stakeholders. It will also discuss how to look at corporate pressures and stakeholder expectations and their impact on risk identification and business success.
