Firms need strong governance frameworks “ We advise clients to focus most of their energy on strong governance frameworks and high-quality data ,” says Dr Kevin Franklin , Advisory MD for LRQA , is a leading global assurance partner .
Franklin says many companies see holes in their due diligence efforts because “ there is a lack of structure , expertise , accountability , design , tools and weak metrics or monitoring ”.
He says successfully managing ESG risks means having a framework “ that aligns with your risk appetite , vision and level of commitment , and this is especially the case where it relates to human rights risks and violations ”.
He adds that ESG leaders need to be involved in day-to-day business decision-making .
