The results of a recent cross-industry survey from Compliance Week and Fulcrum, a U.K.-based multidisciplinary firm providing solutions to corporate risk issues, revealed support for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives, but a lack of understanding about how to monitor and measure results.
The poll, “ESG Clarity: Benchmark Your Initiative,” launched in June and garnered responses from 219 compliance, audit, legal, and finance executives. Respondents said while their organizations were largely successful in launching ESG strategies and goals in their business plans, they were less successful in understanding ESG-related risks and applying those lessons to their initiatives.
