Masterclass - The S (Social) in ESG

Taking extracts from our popular Conference programme, Mercia Masterclasses offer a unique opportunity to hear from experts in specialist areas without having to attend the full conference event.

Julia Penny from JS Penny Consulting focuses on the s, or the social part of ESG, but this closely relates to e for environment as many of the social expectations that impact a company relate to climate and the environment. This session will look at areas that might be considered important from a social perspective and how companies might leverage these, such as:

• health and wellbeing
• culture and behaviour
• products and services
• local impact, including on the environment
• supply chains, including risks of modern slavery
• social reporting
• community Interest Companies (CICs)
• BCorp certification and what it means.
