Initiating your company’s commitment to reporting its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics can prove a daunting task. But keep in mind: It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
“You don’t have to be perfect on Day 1,” said Emily Parlapiano, director of ESG programs and reporting at Amneal Pharmaceuticals. “Your suppliers and stakeholders want to see progress.”
Parlapiano spoke as part of a panel on developing ESG programs at Compliance Week’s virtual ESG Summit on Tuesday. She was joined by Adrian Khouri, global director of ESG at automotive components manufacturer Tenneco, in discussing best practices for businesses broaching the initial phases of ESG reporting and how to prepare for the potential of regulatory disclosure requirements.
