Executive Summary
The ESG landscape is rapidly evolving. A wave of new regulations is forcing firms to scale up ESG commitments and integrate sustainability considerations into mainstream business decision-making. Corporate ESG performance is now subject to intense public scrutiny and in response to this, firms are changing the way they manage ESG internally. This raises questions about how governance, risk and compliance (GRC) can be leveraged to support ESG objectives. This report provides executives in sustainability, finance, risk, legal and internal audit roles with insights into how the relationship between ESG and GRC is evolving and how organizations can adopt an integrated approach to managing ESG and GRC programmes.
