Survival Skills for a New Era of Ethics and ESG (Live Webinar)

DELIVERY FORMAT
Online Virtual
SEMINAR TYPE
PD Seminar

Overview

We have entered a new and morally polarized era of ethics and ESG (environmental, social, and governance) - one in which the “old” way of managing business ethics, corporate reputation, whistleblowing and ESG is insufficient.  Using case studies, personal experience and interactions with leading ESG thought leaders from around the globe, Morgan offers an engaging and fresh perspective on ESG and concrete strategies to help participants at all levels of organizations feel more confident in this new era.


This live virtual seminar is offered in collaboration with CPA Western Provinces. The content is applicable to all participants.

 

Course Description

Stakeholders - from employees to customers to investors - have diverse perspectives on what and how much organizations ought to do to address the social and environmental challenges of today. Woke/Anti-Woke, Purpose/Profit, ESG/Anti-ESG – these debates are alive around the world and CPAs in various roles are increasingly being called to take part.

After suggesting that the prevalent “everybody wins” attitude towards ESG has failed to equip employees and leaders with the skills to navigate the very real tension that can arise between different stakeholder expectations in business, Morgan presents the concept of ESG 3.0 – a version of ESG characterized by moral humility as it relates to ‘taking a stand’, respect for pluralist stakeholder viewpoints, an emphasis on focused ESG commitments, and a firm commitment to integrity in ESG communication.
