Our Director Sentiment Monitor research for Q2 2021 finds that 72% of respondents indicate that Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) issues have now become part of their board’s agenda. In addition, ESG came in second to strategy when our research asked IoD members what they believe will be the most desired experience/expertise needed by their primary organisation’s board over the next two years. Our members views are also revealed in relation to future models of working, the return to the office/workplace, confidence in the economy, the effect of the Government's performance, and the role of the state during the COVID-19 pandemic.
