Victoria Riess at ESG Reporting and Management on how to redefine sustainability and keep it on the board agenda

I gave answers in my workshop “Strengthening Relevance: Keeping ESG on the Agenda“ at Handelsblatt’s ESG Reporting and Management,

highlighting how to demonstrate a clear contribution of ESG to resilience, competitiveness, and governance:

1. ESG is evolving from regulation and reporting toward governance and added value

It is essential to integrate ESG into all processes and decisions, such as medium-term planning, investment decisions, etc. The business case for ESG must be quantified.

2. Sustainability is the answer to the polycrisis, and resilience is the new sustainability

Geopolitical instability, climate change, and skills shortages can be mitigated through ESG. Supply chain resilience, climate change adaptation, and attracting talent through ESG reduce costs and increase productivity.

3. Digital and cyber resilience are becoming more important

Against the backdrop of hybrid warfare and agent-based AI, digital and cyber resilience—or cyber sovereignty—are becoming a competitive factor for companies.
