In the first episode of Season Six, Bárbara Mendes-Jorge interviews Paula Byrne (Program Director at the ESG Center) and Manali Paranjpe (Program Director at the ESG Center, Europe) on the key areas they are focusing on this year and how the ESG Center supports The Conference Board members on their sustainability journeys. We discuss how companies need to urgently familiarise themselves with the EU's CSRD legislation - which is already transforming sustainability reporting - why human rights, biodiversity and circular economy are three of the main topics the ESG Center is focused on this year and, continuing on from discussions had last season, why it is so important for companies to avoid greenwashing.
