ESG is becoming a main priority on the board agenda and is increasingly seen as imperative to long-term value creation for organisations.

Agenda

Earlier in the year, we launched KPMG Impact, bringing together new and existing ESG commitments under one umbrella. Simon will take a walk through Our Plan, taking a look at how large organisations are adapting as the world rapidly changes… don’t get left behind.
Sophie Heading, Global Geopolitics Lead

By joining the dots between the macro political trends and pressing challenges in different sectors, Sophie helps identify the 'now what' of geopolitics for global businesses through strategic scenario planning, due diligence and geopolitical risk management.
Harry Briggs, Associate Director
KPMG in the Crown Dependencies, Jersey
Regulation is coming, if you are still not convinced, governments and regulators are going to force businesses to take notice via the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (“TFCD”).
