ECSE-PBC Governance CPD Webinar Series

Integrating Social Responsibility into Core Strategy

Summary/Purpose:

This session explores how Caribbean organizations can embed social responsibility into their core strategy in ways that satisfy regulatory expectations, strengthen ESG performance, and enhance long term sustainability. With global and regional regulators increasingly demanding transparency, ethical conduct, and demonstrable societal impact, boards must understand how to guide responsible stewardship and sustainable value creation.

The purpose of this webinar is to help executives move beyond compliance and leverage social responsibility as a strategic differentiator—one that enhances reputation and talent attraction positioning the organization as a trusted and credible partner within the economies in which it operates.
