The issue of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) has become increasingly important in organizations as a result of new expectations from clients and other market players.
Sustainability in companies has led to the emergence of challenges for the Internal Audit function, some resulting from the pandemic itself, which has highlighted the exposure of organizations to crisis management processes.
Companies have been subjected to exponential digital development, drastically accelerating their digital transformation, forcing them to implement increasingly robust initiatives, define new review procedures, spread a risk management culture that is sensitive to risks resulting from climate change and actively contribute to the growth of the sustainability of the business model and the resilience of financial institutions.
Join in the reflections and debate at this seminar, which will address this set of issues in partnership with the Portuguese Institute of Internal Auditing.
This seminar will take place on May 17 at 5:30 p.m. in Auditorium 2 (with live streaming).
