Governing with Impact: Strategic Leadership in ESG and Corporate Governance

In corporate leadership, it is essential to develop a deep understanding of modern Corporate Governance developments and their relationship with ESG. Corporate governance functions not only as an external investment criterion and an internal system of efficiency and control (the "G" pillar), but also as a driver of decisions related to sustainability and environmental and social responsibility (the "E" and "S" pillars).

For investors, companies, and the financial system as a whole, Corporate Governance plays a key role in preparing, executing, monitoring, and reviewing decisions at the highest level of organizations, particularly those related to ESG. This program aims to prepare business leaders for this integrated view of governance, shaped by the new challenges faced by members of Boards of Directors and Supervisory Bodies.

Participants who complete this program will be granted membership in UCP’s new initiative, the Católica GOVERNANCE | ESG Circle.

Who is this program for:

• Board members and members of supervisory bodies.
