Description

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) has become an increasing focus for employers, employee representatives and applicants alike. This session will consider market practices regarding ESG, the importance of employers being aware of the impact and the potential fallout from ESG issues. We will examine the impact of ESG in the workplace; in particular, how ESG can impact an employer’s policies and an employee’s freedom of expression and how those issues can subsequently be balanced. We will also discuss whether and in what way the implementation of ESG in corporate culture, in the cooperation between employers, employees and employee representatives, and in the area of HR policies, helps to attract applicants and retain employees.
