ESG Summit: Holistic approach to supply chain risk an ‘investment differentiator’

Two experts explained how the C-suite as a whole—not just compliance officers—should be focused on the holistic approach to supply chain risk management during a session at Compliance Week’s virtual ESG Summit on Monday.

Alexis Huseby, vice president and research analyst of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) at Lazard Asset Management, described the holistic approach to supply chain risk management as asking the question, “Your peers are paying attention to this—are you?” She said this approach could be an “investment differentiator imperative going forward.”

From Huseby’s perspective, without buy-in from asset managers and corporations they own, a shift in the sustainability space is unlikely.
