Addressing compliance and sustainability issues along your supply chain isn’t only about keeping regulators happy. It’s also just good business.  As organisations race to stay ahead of regulations and elevate their supply chain practices, Maria Knapp and Yadaira Orsini speak to Microsoft’s Senior Manager for Responsible Sourcing, J.J. Messner de Latour,  about whether Compliance’s prominent role in managing ESG in supply chains is truly a good idea.  This is the second episode of Control Risks’ new ESG podcast, The Good Idea.

What does ‘ESG’ mean for the responsible investor?  What aspects of ESG as a risk management approach should we carry forward, and which we might want to leave behind in favour of another approach? Join ESG Director Maria Knapp for a conversation with Phil Davis, Director of ESG at Helios Investments LLP as they explore the effectiveness and suitability of the ESG framework while addressing pressing questions surrounding the private equity (PE) industry. How much pressure does PE face from the mounting mandatory reporting and disclosure requirements? They also dive into the impact of ESG as a compliance and risk management framework on PE, discussing how it occupies valuable time and resources.
