Webcast

The replay of yesterday’s hour-long webcast Putting the “G” First: Oversight of “E” & “S” in ESG is now available. The transcript will be available soon as well.

Speaking of E&S oversight, over on TheCorporateCounsel.net, Liz wrote about a number of companies that received shareholder proposals about their operations in so-called “conflict-affected” areas.

… big asset managers are paying more attention to human rights risks – and the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights seem to be gaining steam as a reference point that company practices will be compared to. With the atrocities that have come to light in Ukraine, the human rights impact of operations in conflict regions could take off as an even bigger shareholder initiative. Corporate decisions on business dealings with Russia and Russian partners are being called one of the biggest ESG issues to-date.
