Mauro Tortone, a director and adviser at P27, wrote a new article for The Review, the Journal of the CISI
Our Strategy & Finance Practice Director and Lead Advisor, Mauro Tortone, introduces key elements of ESG a board needs to know to ensure effective oversight of a firm’s approach to sustainability in an article published by The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI), the London-based leading professional body for financial services professionals with 50,000 members in 100 countries.
The article highlights the board’s role in embedding the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors into a corporate strategy for long-term stakeholder value creation. The ESG framework, a work in progress, provides companies with a practical way to improve sustainability. ESG has become a strategic priority as sustainability concerns grow. Strong ESG practices enhance business valuations by attracting investors, lowering borrowing costs, reducing risks and fostering innovation. ESG expertise on boards is crucial: they play an essential role in integrating sustainability into corporate strategy and culture, ensuring companies go beyond regulatory compliance to adopt sustainability as a driver of long-term success and resilience.
CISI members can delve deeper into these topics by taking the CISI Professional Refresher module Mauro contributed to: ‘ESG and the role of the Board’. This resource, linked to the article, provides boards with insights on integrating ESG into the business for long-term value creation, outlining the steps required to implement it and examples of best practices.
