Whether your company is several years into measuring environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives or just getting started, compliance departments are uniquely positioned to help.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has made it abundantly clear that it will likely require publicly traded companies to disclose risks associated with climate change and ESG. The agency has launched a number of initiatives and created new positions that telegraph this intention. Companies will have to be careful in how they describe these ESG-related risks, both to avoid lawsuits from disgruntled investors when generic wording or lofty goals don’t meet reality and to avoid describing ESG initiatives as more effective than they really are, also known as greenwashing.

Hispanic and Black patients represented a disproportionate share of COVID-19 hospitalizations in 2020, as did patients from lower-income communities, according to a new state report.
Staff from the Health Policy Commission on Wednesday presented findings from their interim report into the pandemic s impacts on the state s health care system, an analysis the agency was directed to undertake as part of a health care law Gov. Charlie Baker signed in January. A final report is due January 2022.
The commission also found that fewer Massachusetts hospitals were profitable in fiscal 2020 compared to the previous year, and said that while some hospitals had negative margins last year, federal and state relief funds prevented greater losses.
