ESG Community
RILA’s ESG Community is composed of retail executives focused on various Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) topics and their disclosure
Overview
RILA’s ESG Community is composed of retail executives focused on various Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) topics and their disclosure. These executives are typically members of a company's broader Internal ESG committee and may be particular subject matter leads for E, S or G Issues or focus on Investor relations, voluntary or mandatory disclosures, etc.
The ESG Community is part of the RILA Retail ESG Initiative, the mission of which is to connect and leverage RILA’s diversity of ESG-touching communities to allow the retail industry to collectively learn about, discuss and influence the evolving retail ESG reporting landscape.
Currently the community meets virtually six times per year.
