Join Babson College Accounting Professor Robert M. Turner, for a hot topic presentation on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), followed by an introduction to the F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business from Graduate Admissions.

This presentation will focus on ESG Reporting and how companies can respond to these increasing calls for a more holistic measure of sustainability and risk management.

Corporate Social Responsibility, Triple Bottom Line, ESG reporting are all terms that have been used over the past decades to expand how investors view companies. While earnings per share is one metric, a reporting system that includes other factors, that incorporate sustainability and a strategic mission that goes beyond returns to shareholders, is becoming mainstream in financial reporting. The European Union requires companies to report nonfinancial statements on diversity and sustainability beginning in 2018 and other regions are beginning to look at models to capture this information.
