While many institutional investors claim to prioritize ESG factors, are they scrutinizing social risks in supply chains with the same rigor as financial risks? This session will debate whether investors are pushing companies hard enough on responsible sourcing. We’ll also explore how the precision and rigor of financial reporting could be leveraged to enhance ESG reporting, driving deeper accountability and more meaningful action.
This session will explore:
- How are investors evaluating social risks in supply chains compared to traditional financial risks?
- Can the rigor and transparency seen in financial reporting be applied to ESG disclosures to create more robust and actionable insights?
- What key metrics and disclosures are investors looking for in responsible sourcing practices?
- How can companies align their sourcing strategies with investor expectations to drive long-term value creation?
