“Oftentimes instead of saying, ‘What is environmental and social governance and what does it mean to the company?’ it's more like, what's material to your company and to your stakeholders?” — Laura Wanlass
“You have to really sit back and look at who you are as a company, what industries or markets do you operate within to set your strategy and to know what you want to do on the risk side and the opportunity side of ESG.” — Laura Wanlass
“But on the governance side, I would say, especially if you're public, there's some pretty universal things that are expected in terms of board governance.” — Laura Wanlass
“Employees really care [about ESG], and that's not going to go away.” — Laura Wanlass
