SESSIONS

Human Capital and ESG Panelist

Human capital management is a key part of ESG imperatives. Adopting principles under this umbrella is seen as a way to attract and retain the best talent. But how do employees really fit into ESG initiatives? Should boards track job creation and satisfaction?   What’s the company’s responsibility to older workers who might be displaced by technology?  What responsibility does a company have for income inequality?

Takeaways:

  • Is it the responsibility of the corporation to provide good jobs?
  • What are the payoffs of focusing on ESG initiatives throughout organizations?
  • How should a board define and promote diversity and inclusion?
  • Should employees (not just senior management) be represented on the board?
