How Knowledgeable Do Directors Need to Be About “ESG”?

Our guest – Jane Bomba, a director for three public companies – and a former Chief Administrative Officer & Chief Sustainability Officer for a public company – talks about how much directors need to be knowledgeable about ESG issues, including:

1. Should each board have one or more “experts” on ESG issues?
2. For directors who don’t have a background on ESG issues, how much should they build up their expertise?
3. How best can those directors build it up? Just reading about it? Observing presentations? Getting certified somehow?
