Episode 14 - Tackling ESG in the boardroom
In this podcast Susan Stenson, a partner at Independent Audit, discusses the impact that environment, social and governance (ESG) issues are having in the boardroom. She outlines the importance of linking these areas back to the overall purpose and strategy of the organisation to enable directors to understand which issues they should focus on and how they should communicate their approach to their stakeholders. Susan outlines how governance lays the foundations for a strong response to ESG issues from boards of directors. She also argues that if the board is honest about how it has decided its ESG priorities, its approach is much more likely to be successful.
Exploring Tensions in the New Landscape of Diversity & Inclusion
In recent years, diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) have been recognised as essential to organisational success, innovation and societal progress. Yet today, we are witnessing a shift in tone — from political pushback to budget cuts — that risks rolling back hard-won gains. This Branch event will explore why DEI remains vital, not just as a moral imperative but as a driver of resilience, competitiveness, and trust in a volatile global environment.
