Corporate boards can organize ESG oversight in several ways because priorities differ by industry. A company may create a dedicated ESG committee that develops sustainability strategies for the full board. It may assign ESG duties to existing audit, risk, or human resources committees. Smaller companies may have the full board make ESG decisions directly. Board members should also have some independence from management and bring varied backgrounds and skills to improve oversight.
