Director Imperatives: What Boards Need to Know About Climate Change in 2024

Climate change is a critical topic for corporate boards of all types. Once considered a discrete issue for energy companies, the impacts of long-term changes in the earth's climate have highlighted the urgency that all companies consider the potential impacts that climate change risks may have on their business, as well as the impact their business practices may have on the environment.

With regulators, shareholders and stakeholders taking a keen interest, boards must intensify their oversight of this critical topic and understand and act upon the risks and opportunities that climate change poses to their organizations. Join this session to gain awareness and skills from practicing board directors who reflect on their efforts. Attendees will learn about:

• How boards and corporations are embedding climate considerations into decision-making and corporate activities
• Current best practices and lessons learned from peers
• Metrics and targets -- what to measure, publish and tie to performance
• How organizations are staffing their organizations or upskilling employees for a climate-oriented future

The program will conclude with a networking reception.
