DRI International and Harvard NPLI Release New Research on ESG and Global Resilience
DRI International, in association with the Harvard National Preparedness Leadership Initiative (NPLI) has released a new white paper, analyzing the relationship between global resilience and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) priorities.
“As companies look for a way to meaningfully measure the impact of climate change on their operations, they are increasingly looking to their business continuity teams to provide that data,” said Chloe Demrovsky, DRI President and CEO.
ESG, Sustainability and Climate Resilience: A Business Continuity Perspective considers ESG, along with sustainability and business continuity (BC), to find common patterns and practices as well as recommendations for BC professionals to better manage these relationships within their companies. It is based on research supported by various sectors, including business/financial services, risk management, hospitality, and manufacturing.
