Leadership Dialogue with Lydie Hudson
30:38
Leading up to COP26 and in ongoing pursuit of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, there is tremendous momentum behind corporate ESG reporting to hold business and industry to account on meeting global sustainability commitments – and to inform stakeholders of the risks that falling short on them carry. What began as an initiative by a small subset of investors has grown into a widespread understanding across the business community that disclosures and transparency are good for capital markets. In this CERAWeek Conversation, Lydie Hudson, CEO of Sustainability, Research & Investment Solutions at Credit Suisse, explores the global ESG landscape and discusses the holistic approaches that companies are taking to integrate environmental, social, and governance strategies into their operating models. How are ESG strategies functioning as a filter to assess an organization? What are the linkages between ESG disclosures and corporate performance?
