Description
Eighty percent of business leaders tell us their organizations still set ESG goals that are at least somewhat tailored for marketing.1 Listen to Drew Tanenbaum, an advisor in Gartner’s legal and compliance practice, and host Eliza Krigman unpack the general counsel’s role in moving from cosmetic targets to goals that mitigate risks and capture opportunities. GC should ask executives two essential questions — early and often: “Should we pursue it?” and “Could we attain it?”

Evidence
1 2023 Gartner ESG Goal-Setting Survey. This survey was conducted in April-May 2023 to understand how organizations should structure their ESG programs to drive meaningful progress against its ESG goals. The research was conducted online among 206 respondents in North America, Western Europe and Asian regions. Qualifying organizations had at least $500 million (or USD equivalent) in total annual revenue for FY22. Further, the questionnaire sought responses from full-time senior employees with visibility into organizations’ ESG goal setting.
