The Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) movement presents challenging but important issues for all companies. Regulators, investors, consumers and employees are increasingly focused on what companies are doing, or not doing, related to ESG efforts. This scrutiny puts businesses at financial and reputational risk if they fail to meaningfully incorporate ESG policies and initiatives into their mission and operations.

ESG efforts can unlock value by extending the traditional bottom line to non-financial considerations, such as a company’s sustainability, climate impact, commitment to human and labor rights, diversity and inclusion and transparent governance.

Join us to learn why ESG matters and what franchise-industry businesses like yours should be doing to determine the ESG considerations that are most appropriate and/or for you.
