FAQs
It is recommended to conduct a comprehensive ESG audit annually, with ongoing monitoring of key ESG metrics and quarterly reviews of progress towards ESG goals.
Key areas include environmental impact assessment, diversity and inclusion practices, community engagement initiatives, ethical business practices, sustainable investment policies, corporate governance structure, and ESG-related risk management strategies.
The audit team should include sustainability officers, corporate governance experts, HR managers, risk management specialists, investment managers, and representatives from operations and community outreach departments.
