Ocean Connector: Integrating ESGs into your business

COVE Colin MacLean Hall, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada

About this event There is a rising expectation to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into company strategy and decision-making. Small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) are increasingly aware of the benefits of integrating ESGs into their operations – especially as they aim to secure investment and seek export opportunities. With virtually every company being linked to another in some way, the ESG issues that impact one company will inevitably have an impact on the whole supply chain. Successful integration of ESG will lead to improved risk management, operational performance, reputation and employee engagement. Join us to learn more about ESG adoption, the benefits it offers, and the role it plays in supporting inclusive, sustainable growth in the transition to a low-carbon economy. MEET THE SPEAKER Nancy Foran, FCPA, FCMA, C. Dir. is President and Founder of Nova Scotia-based ESG Partners Inc,, providing guidance to companies, investors, boards of directors and leadership teams as they incorporate ESG factors into strategies that create long-term, sustainable value.

Women in Leadership 2022

Online

Elevating the Role of Women in the Public Sector Women have made a tremendous impact in the government; advocating for change, influencing policy and law and paving the way for future generations. Despite the continuous efforts made, women remain underrepresented within the public sector landscape. Women are still faced with challenges and barriers that only increase if they are a woman of colour, are part of the LGBTQ2+ community or have disabilities. There is a significant disparity of women in leadership roles within both public and private sectors. This is due to longstanding stereotypes and biases, which impact women from the time they are young girls. Systemic change is required to overcome and shift the perception surrounding women’s leadership. Statistics show that having women in positions of leadership directly influences and improves the socio-economic landscape for all. It is reported that there is a direct correlation between women leaders in government and the creation and implementation of more inclusive and equitable policies both internally and within our communities. In this fifth segment of Public Sector Network’s Women in Leadership series 2022, we will explore key factors that continue to hinder or discourage women leaders, and how we can address and […]
