Hitting the Reset Button on ESG

Corporate America's focus on ESG has been driven by regulatory pressures, investor demands, and public expectations. As these circumstances evolve, and firms confront complex challenges including economic volatility, global tensions, and ESG backlash, companies should consider “hitting the reset button” to refresh their ESG strategies. By reassessing objectives, deepening partnerships, staying ahead of regulations, and ensuring strategies align with both core business priorities and pressing societal issues—including broad environmental, socioeconomic, and social goals—companies can revitalize their ESG efforts and ensure continued effectiveness in uncertain times.
