Companies monitoring ESG factors tend to be more vigilant on improving overall corporate governance, while increasing profitability and mitigating risk, which can be further enhanced with our full range of operational risk management solutions.'

Alina Plaia, Head of ESGiQ and Managing Director, MZ North America, added, 'Our alliance with RSI is an ideal strategic fit, which allows us to leverage their full range of operational risk management solutions. The anticipated SEC regulations and reporting framework-related developments from NGOs-such as SASB and TCFD becoming part of IFRS-underscore the importance of robust ESG reporting and risk management. ESG and risk management services are becoming a critical tool for all companies that play a significant part in value chains of local U.S. public companies, as well as large public and private companies world-wide.
