Abstract: 

With new ESG reporting requirements on the horizon, corporations will be faced with the task of developing an appropriately tailored and effective ESG program to collect, verify, and report the necessary information to satisfy applicable obligations under the new regulations. In this article the authors draw on information presented at the 39th Annual International FCPA Conference session titled “Creating a Best-In-Class ESG Compliance Program: Engaging with Stakeholders and Leveraging Cross Functional Teams to Identity Key Risk Factors and Ensure Compliance.” Citing polling responses at the conference, they discuss ways to leverage existing compliance functions to develop a systematic approach to ESG program development and implementation.
