Como você pode garantir que seu plano de ERM esteja alinhado com as metas ESG da sua organização?

You shall also understand ESG principles: Begin by familiarizing yourself with the key principles and frameworks of ESG. This includes understanding the environmental impact, social responsibilities, and governance practices relevant to your industry and organization.

Understand and identify the dependencies and interdependencies between operations and projects particularly when the projects are running live systems and rely on live people, processes and technologies. Ensure that recorded on both sets of risk registers.

From personal experience, aligning an ERM plan with ESG goals starts with a thorough assessment of ESG risks. You have to pinpoint potential environmental, social, and governance issues like climate change, human rights, and ethics. It's not just about identifying these risks; it's about understanding their probability, impact, and how they tie into your ESG ambitions. Also, you can't overlook the preferences of your stakeholders, including investors and regulators. This step is more than a procedural task; it's a strategic move to ensure your risk management is not only compliant but also authentically supports your organization's ESG commitments

The entreprise risk management exist to protect the organisation and its strategic goals making them more likely to be acheived. Therefore, each ESG need to be assessed in order to identify any source of risks that might impact the fulfillement of the ESG. Consequently, we will have an ERM that is aligned by design with the ESG.

A comprehensive risk plan is sourced from across your enterprise. Determine those ESG goals that have the biggest obstacles. Then determine how those obstacles align with other business areas. Is there a pattern?

Before integration you shall conduct a materiality assessment: Identify the ESG issues that are most material or significant to your organization. Materiality assessment helps determine which ESG factors are most relevant to your business operations, stakeholders, and long-term sustainability.

In my experience, true alignment of ERM and ESG goals is achieved when ESG risks become integral to our risk framework, influencing every strategic move. Leveraging ESG metrics and scenarios, I've led teams to not just manage, but capitalize on these risks, turning challenges into opportunities

In my experience integrating ESG into risk assessment enables organizations to proactively address risks, seize opportunities, and align their business strategies with sustainable and responsible practices, leading to long-term success and positive impact.

My humble approach to Bridge ERM & ESG: Talk openly, engage often. Communicate clearly: Disclose ESG risks and performance (reports, surveys). Build trust: Share data, back up claims, be consistent. Listen actively: Engage stakeholders, gather feedback, seek collaboration. Open communication and engaged dialogue align ERM and ESG for a sustainable future.

Capitalise on the opportunity risks to ensure that they are effectively communicated particularly when they add value. This will show others the positive way the ESG framework can enable your organisation to achieve its purpose.

I've learned that authentic communication of ESG risks is key. This means transparently sharing risks and performances, and engaging stakeholders through robust reporting frameworks and interactive forums, ensuring ERM plans are in sync with ESG objectives.

Additionally, once identification, assessment and mitigation is completed, we should regularly review evolving ESG priorities and industry standards and update the ERM plan to stay aligned. Additionally, engage stakeholders and foster a culture of sustainability to reinforce ESG integration throughout the organization.

I feel like the overarching question has it backward. It appears to suggest you bend your ERM plan to your ESG goals. However, as articulated in the article, it makes more sense to apply the objective criteria of your ERM identification, evaluation, and mitigation to your ESG program. The you can use the outcome of that application to determine whether any of the risks identified in your ESG program rise to the level of “enterprise” risks. ESG program risks that reach that threshold can then be incorporated into your overall ERM plan and addressed in a manner consistent with other ERM risks.

Integrate ESG criteria into risk assessments, engage stakeholders for input on ESG priorities, and regularly review and update your ERM framework to reflect evolving ESG commitments.

In addition to the above mentioned points you should embed ESG into the organizational culture: Foster a culture that values ESG considerations and integrates them into decision-making processes at all levels of the organization. This involves training employees, promoting awareness, and embedding ESG principles into policies and procedures.
