Season 5: Episode 1 - The Lexicon of ESG

The Compliance Files

In this weeks episode of the Compliance Files Podcast, Kathy Jacobs, former President, Compliance Institute speaks with Ann Shiels, founder of sustainable finance regulatory firm, FinLexSus and Ann is also the Program Director for the Compliance Institute’s Professional Diploma in Sustainable Finance for Compliance Professionals delivered in partnership with the IOB.

In this episode, we revisit a familiar topic, and that is ESG Sustainability. There is a language and vocabulary growing up around sustainability. So in this episode, we are taking a helicopter view by doing a stock take on the regulation, and to explain some of the terms, acronyms to come to an understanding of the current position, and we explore what a Compliance Framework for sustainability look like. Since the podcast was recorded, the CSDDD has been endorsed by the European Council in March 2024.
