Description

The world has seen significant changes from climate change, pandemic, social justice movement, and more. At the same time, corporations are experiencing rising expectations from stakeholders, including governments, shareholders, investors, and corporate peers. Shareholders and investors are taking a closer look at companies’ ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategies and track records. There is also an increasing number of customers asking suppliers to commit to making their products in a sustainable way and governments around the world are instituting regulations and policies designed to address and mitigate the world’s critical challenges.
 
In this session, we are honored to have Jim Falteisek, 3M Asia Corporate Affairs Senior Vice President and 3M Korea Managing Director, to talk about the Importance of ESG for the Private Sector.
