Every day, corporate philanthropy professionals manage the pressure to deliver on a steady stream of expanding ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) goals with limited resources.  Compounding these challenges is a new landscape for staffing that has emerged as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and “great resignation.”  With increasing demands for impact data and results, corporate funders need access to experts who can fill the gap between expensive, bureaucratic consulting firms and peer networks.

Join Tom Knowlton, CEO of CSR Talent Group, who will facilitate a peer discussion among ESG and CSR leaders highlighting how companies are addressing these issues by utilizing creative new staffing models.  The session will provide an overview of research findings on the current state of ESG and CSR staffing and answer some of the following questions:

• How has the pandemic affected access to the CSR and ESG talent pool?
• How are companies addressing critical ESG and CSR issues with limited staff?
• How are companies responding to gaps in talent as initiatives call for more specialization?
