Overview

While the spotlight may shine more brightly on environmental, social and governance issues in the public-company boardroom, private-company owners and directors must also assess the importance of ESG when it comes to company performance and the oversight of risks and opportunities. The PDA DC Metro chapter continues its ESG series by focusing on social issues — community engagement, workplace diversity, inclusion and social justice. Our fireside conversation with Ron Parker, the former chief global diversity and inclusion officer for PepsiCo Global and current CEO of the National Association of Securities Professionals, will draw on his extensive experience as an executive and on boards addressing these issues while engaging participants in a discussion of their own boardroom concerns.
