Welcome to a special series where we look down the road at key issues in 2024 and beyond, sponsored by Diligent. In this series I will visit with Nicolas Latham, Renee Murphy, Jessica Czeczuga; Yee Chow; and Alexander Cotoia. Over this series, we will consider compliant communications in regulated industries, managing conflicts of interest at the Board level, the Board’s role in compliance training and communications, navigating the current ESG landscape and professional growth and mentorship in compliance. In this Part 4, we navigate the current ESG landscape with Yee Chow. Yee Chow is a seasoned professional in the sustainability space, currently serving as the Director of Solution Engineering and Consulting at Diligent. With over 16 years of experience, Chow has witnessed the evolution of the chief compliance officer's role in ESG compliance. Chow's perspective on this evolution is that it has become a significant and integral part of corporate agendas. Previously, ESG was seen as a side topic for companies to gain more credentials and marketing, but in recent years it has become a major focus for the majority of corporations globally. This shift has led to changes in the roles of chief compliance officers and internal management, with ESG now being elevated to their level of responsibility and accountability. Chow believes that this shift is necessary and beneficial for companies in the future. Join Tom Fox and Yee Chow on this episode of the Diligent Podcast to delve deeper into this topic.
