Sustainability and ESG Executive Forum: Generating Business Value from Sustainability Programs

This session will examine sustainability reporting and ESG disclosures from the perspective of business value. The panel will run through the key frameworks many companies have adopted, the ISSB IFRS S1 and IFRS S2, and the EU CSRD, and explore how these align with business performance issues, such as risk management, carbon management and accounting, reputational risk, climate change impacts on operations, and resource efficiency. Corporates need to decide how they can best respond to the information requirements of the investment community. The discussion will explore how reporting and disclosure that are often undertaken for compliance reasons can also deliver real business value.
