Exploring ESG's Impact on Compensation

Join us for an engaging session that explores the evolving intersection of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles and compensation strategies. Discover the latest ESG trends in North America and hear firsthand from a panel of experts who have successfully integrated ESG into their compensation practices. Through live polling, we’ll reveal insights into what companies are doing in this space and explore how sustainability goals are shaping compensation frameworks in the U.S. and Canada. This session will also provide a forward-looking perspective on what to expect in 2025, offering practical strategies to align compensation plans with corporate ESG objectives.

KEY LEARNING POINTS:

  • Understand the current state of ESG trends in North America and their implications for compensation practices.
  • Gain actionable insights from live polling and expert panel discussions on integrating ESG principles into equity and cash compensation.
  • Explore forward-looking strategies for aligning compensation plans with sustainability goals and preparing for future ESG-related challenges.
