ESG, Disruption and Investment

Demands for business leadership have been made more complex in recent years. The global pandemic tested in real-time many of the corporates’ risk management and mitigation frameworks and made companies rethink transformation strategies. This has required boards around the globe to step up oversight of their companies’ social and environmental risks and digital safeguards and opportunities, while adapting to maintaining the welfare of employees and stakeholders.

On September 27, Morrow Sodali’s Chairman Emeritus, John Wilcox, participated as the panelist on the first session of the 2021 Hawkamah Annual Conference. The panel discussion explored emerging trends in governance, the implications of these trends on boards and organizations, and what regional companies, boards and directors need to do not only to respond to current challenges, but to prepare for an increasingly complex set of expectations from their shareholders and stakeholders.
