ESG: Social Issues & Materiality

ESG: Social Issues & Materiality Course Overview

What’s the one commonality all organizations share regardless of the industry, geography, or business model? People. All organizations are run by, and depend on, people. Our employees, customers, investors, suppliers, and local communities are all collections of people – collections of people that influence our company’s welfare and vice-versa.

Some of the greatest corporate challenges of our time all come down to people – country-wide labor strikes, talent shortages, supplier controversies, increasing employee expectations, and many more. In a society demanding greater equity, opportunity, and access for all people, our company’s approach to managing social issues will directly impact our bottom-line. Operationally, reputationally, and financially, social issue management has emerged as a strategic imperative for organizations of all shapes and sizes.
