The ESG Checklist
Regulators increasingly require corporates and financial services firms to incorporate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risks into their due diligence and reputational risk management processes. ESG also brings opportunity: asset managers and investment banks have enjoyed significant returns by moving assets into sustainable funds, while companies who are transparent about their ESG commitments have been profitable. But ESG is often poorly defined, and acquiring the right data to uncover these risks is difficult.
In this eBook, we explore the growing list of reasons why ESG risk assessment is no longer optional for companies, and the factors they should include in their due diligence. We provide a checklist for companies to follow to effectively confront the challenges of ESG risks. Finally, we explain how Nexis® Solutions can help to identify, manage and mitigate those risks.
