Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) frameworks have emerged in the private sector as a way to incorporate social good into the other work an organization is engaged in. It’s a lens that can enhance and inform the way a company thinks about risks, opportunities and outcomes.

But when people think about improving their communities and addressing the major issues that impact daily life, they look to governments – not corporations or individuals – as the institutions responsible for meeting that mission. While many ESG initiatives are intrinsic to the mission of government agencies, thinking about them as interrelated pieces under a common framework helps set goals, measure success and ensure accountability.

On October 19, join us for a webinar on how adopting an ESG framework can be a powerful way to help broaden governments’ mission to address issues that matter to the communities they serve.

During this webinar, you’ll learn:

  • The key forces driving the need for governments to focus on environmental, social and governance issues
  • What tools are available to assess how an agency performs as a steward of the natural environment; how it treats its employees and constituents; and how it holds itself accountable
  • How a strategic focus on ESG can produce tangible impacts on operations, finances, and organizational resilience

Be sure to register for Part Two of this conversation here, to learn more about ESG frameworks.
