Ep. 311 ESG: Opportunities and Challenges for the Board of Directors

Perspectives in Business

A report from New York University analyzed the credentials of 1188 Fortune 100 board directors and found that 29% of directors had relevant ESG credentials in 2018. Has this changed in the post-pandemic era? In this episode, I talk with Helle Bank Jorgensen, author of Stewards of the Future: A Guide for Competent Boards. We discuss challenges and opportunities for the board of directors because climate- and ESG- are in high demand by investors and other stakeholders. She is also the founder of the Competent Boards original and premier creator of online environment, social, governance (ESG), and Climate education programs for board directors and executives.
