Deloitte’s “Board Governance Structures and ESG” identifies the observable and documented changes occurring at the board level in response to the increasing focus on corporate sustainability risks—namely, practices pertaining to board/committee oversight structure and responsibilities; board composition; board meeting integration; and management information and reporting. The article includes a series of questions for the board to help facilitate its self-evaluation and consideration of potential changes in practices to effect optimal oversight.

See “ESG Governance: Board and Management Roles & Responsibilities” (Society/Thompson Hine); these recent Society/Deloitte benchmarking surveys: “Board Practices Quarterly: Back to basics: Board composition and refreshment,” “Board Practices Quarterly: Back to basics: Board education and evaluations,” and “Board Practices Quarterly: Back to basics: Board committees”; and numerous additional resources on our Sustainability and Board Practices/Governance Practices pages.
