ESG Center Working Groups

Released: The Roles of the Board in the Era of ESG and Stakeholder Capitalism Report

Read the report and the four supplements here >>

Background

Companies are increasing their attention to (1) the ever- evolving list of ESG issues and (2) serving the long-term welfare of a broad range of stakeholders. These shifts have very practical implications for corporate boards, which have left some feeling overexposed and underprepared. This second session of this working group will focus on what, if any, changes companies may want to consider in board composition, capabilities, committee and other governance structures to best oversee ESG in an era of stakeholder capitalism. 

Roles of the Board in the Era of ESG and Stakeholder Capitalism Working Group Sessions:

• Session One: The Implications of these Trends for Boards (May 2022)
• Session Two: Board Composition, Capabilities, and Structure (September 2022)
• Session Three: Communication and Engagement (October 2022)
• Session Four: Effectiveness and Evaluation (November 2022)
