Challenges and Responses to ESG Risk Management

Abstract

As Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations gradually gain global prominence, the demand for ESG risk management by corporations is rapidly increasing. This is not only a manifestation of social responsibility, but also a prerequisite for sustainable corporate development. ESG risk management is not only crucial for the long-term interests of corporations themselves, but also influences investment decisions and public perceptions of corporations. However, in the implementation process, challenges such as uncertainty in data quality, regulatory compliance, the diversification of stakeholder needs, and the complexity of strategic integration have been encountered. To effectively address these issues, corporations need to establish and enhance ESG data quality management systems, adapt to and proactively respond to regulatory changes, strengthen communication with investors and other stakeholders, and promote deep integration of ESG strategies across various departments and levels within the corporation. This article will explore the challenges faced by ESG risk management and propose corresponding strategies and recommendations.
