CONVERGE is in its 5th year of bringing together the world’s leading companies for 2 days of dynamic speakers, thought-provoking breakout sessions, and opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals. This year the conference has gone virtual. You will leave the conference with new resources and best practices allowing you to continue the hard work of driving ethics to the center of your business. In today’s episode I visit with Aaron Narva. We visit about his panel at Converge20 on Who Owns the Risk? What Social Pressure and an Integrated View of Risk Mean for the Compliance Officer.  The corporate ethics and compliance landscape continues to expand. In addition to omnipresent regulatory pressure, companies are increasingly beholden to environmental and social considerations coming from Boards of Directors and Customers. Due diligence programs must now encompass an expanded scope of risk; from environmental to labor to diversity and reputational issues – and do so across a widening spectrum of business relationships; from customers all the way to vendors and suppliers. Expanding the scope and purpose of due diligence programs is one thing, but who manages the additional risks once they are identified and understood? For more registration and information on Converge20, click here.
