In this second episode of the five-part special, Tom Fox discusses ESG intelligence with Chris Mason. They talk about the importance of ESG profiles, meeting regulatory requirements, and what ESG can do for businesses.

Chris Mason is with Infortal Worldwide, a global risk firm that provides due diligence services to support key investment decision-making. Infortal Worldwide supports a lot of private equity investment, mergers, and acquisitions, as well as any type of risk scenario a business may face.

Highlights of this episode:

1. Businesses need to understand what their own ESG profile looks like. Knowing where your company sits along the ESG spectrum will be very important as regulations come into play. “To truly understand that, you’ve got to really understand your exposure to many environmental-based situations and circumstances that you may not have had experience with in the past,” Chris says.

2. An ESG profile is vital for the middle market. Larger players in the market will be required to make ESG disclosures to potential partners and clients and comply with emerging regulations. Smaller companies must do the same to do business with larger companies. They will look at smaller companies' ESG profiles to ensure alignment.

3. After assessing their ESG profile, companies can build plans to meet their ESG-related goals.

4. A key element of ESG disclosure requirements is ensuring you follow through on promises made. If your stance on environmental and social issues does not align with your actions as an organization, it can be detrimental to you.

5. Your ESG profile is not static and can change.

Key Quote:

” A company’s ESG profile can significantly impact both reputation and valuation. ” – Chris Mason
