Risk Innovation Solutions Collaboration (RISC)

OUR APPROACH

What to Know

Organizations are under increasing pressure from investors, regulators, and partners to elevate their sustainability profile and integrate it into their core business strategies. What was once known as “Corporate Sustainability,” “CSR,” or “ESG” has evolved into a comprehensive framework which directly ties sustainability to financial performance and regulatory compliance. Companies with robust sustainability profiles can enjoy better lending rates, increased profitability from energy efficiency, and enhanced competitiveness through customer loyalty and brand reputation. Additionally, a higher focus on sustainability is now linked to lower stock-specific risks and improved overall risk management. As climate change and purpose-driven initiatives become more central to business strategies, it’s critical for organizations to stay ahead by integrating sustainable practices throughout their value chain.
