ESG Trends to Watch
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors are often considered by socially conscious investors when evaluating companies on sustainability and social conscientiousness. While ESG metrics can be hard to measure, the risks surrounding them are increasing. As consumer, investor and shareholder action is increasingly focused on ESG, companies and their directors and officers (D&Os) must proactively address climate change, working conditions, cybersecurity and diversity. Failure to do so poses a significant D&O risk for companies and their insurers.
