Emerging Risks: Is Your Code of Conduct Up to Standard?Case IQ
A company’s code of conduct is the most important communication of an ethics and compliance program, setting out the company’s values and expectations for employee behavior. It helps everyone make responsible decisions, reinforces compliance with a company’s standards and protects the company’s reputation.
Your code of conduct should align with your company’s current risks. When you identify your most serious and frequent ethics and compliance risks, you can address them in your code.
The world is constantly changing, raising new opportunities and new risks to your business. Companies must address emerging risks proactively, assessing and revising their corporate codes to include new topics relevant to the current business environment.

ESG Roadmap: Observations and practical advice for boards, corporate secretar...Mike Wallace
Company governance practices and failures have long been an important factor in investor
analysis of a firm’s short-term and long-term value. Over the last several decades—with an
acceleration in the last five years—the relevance to investors of a company’s environmental and
social impacts stemming from its practices, policies and products has increased substantially.
Effective oversight and management by boards, corporate secretaries and sustainability teams
of so-called “ESG” (environmental, social and governance) issues are increasingly important to
preserving and creating shareholder value. Driven by client demand, reputational risk
management and a supportive body of financial research, many investors are demanding that
companies think more broadly about their ESG impacts, take corrective action (if required) and
disclose their ESG-related efforts. In this brief, we will examine the drivers of the growth in
ESG-related investing and engagement, explore ESG’s impact on financial products and
strategies and suggest practical advice to assist boards, corporate secretaries and sustainability
teams.
An excerpt from our new Supply Chain Risk & Innovation publication: http://innovation-forum.co.uk/supply-chain-risk-innovation.php
A key mechanism of the sustainability movement, commodity certification has proved fairly effective in the fight against environmental destruction. But do global systems designed to drive best practice have their limitations?
