Leading with integrity: mitigating fraud and corruption risks in ESG

Dates

-

Driven by the tailwinds of the pandemic, it’s unsurprising that there’s been a major acceleration in the market towards environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives. But with the increased pressure to embrace ESG investment vehicles to meet stakeholder expectations, it’s now imperative to develop the governance and transformation initiatives surrounding these vehicles with robust integrity and ethics at the core.

If designed and executed correctly, the ESG agenda will allow companies to access larger pools of capital, build a stronger corporate brand and promote sustainable, long-term growth. Unfortunately, when corners are cut, companies and investors expose themselves to fraud and corruption risk. That, in turn, could have a ripple effect that could destabilize the global economy as well as public trust in the capital markets.

Join EY and our panel of world-class-investigative journalists and industry leaders for a thought-provoking discussion and an in-depth case study of what can go wrong even when roads are paved with the best of intentions. We’ll explore the ways in which, under the wrong circumstances, impact investments and ESG can be exploited to fabricate fictitious returns and fund the excessive and lavish lifestyles of the very individuals responsible for the caretaking and responsible deployment of those funds.
