Given the recent turmoil in the global economy, companies become more focused on governance issues such as cybersecurity and crisis and risk management. Topics more typically associated with the "E" and "S" in ESG, such as renewable energy or suppliers’ respect for human rights, seem to get much less of a priority.

That broader perspective can improve companies’ response in the short run and prospects in the medium and long term.
