Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance is becoming a front and center issue for corporations around the world, with impacts throughout organizations. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability departments especially are facing new challenges related to ESG, as they may be required to take on much of the added work due to their ESG-related mandates.
What changes have you noticed in your work? Have you or your department taken on more ESG-related tasks? What new challenges are you facing? What are your peers in the space doing?
