Environmental, Social Goverance

ESG – Environmental & Sustainability

Organizations, worldwide, are witnessing rapid change. As they grapple with issues around

their business, risk management is entering uncharted waters. The expectations from risk

functions are changing with a lot more focus emphasized on differentiated delivery, value

additions and bringing out unique perspectives of risks and controls. These expectations have

had a profound impact on how internal audit and related services are being run and managed.

Among its various services, EY assists organizations in protecting businesses through its

advisory services which are focused on risk management.

The opportunity

As the pace of digital continues to accelerate, organizations are expected to make faster

decisions and move from ideation to revenue with speed. In the race to harness emerging

technologies faster than the competition, organizations are sidestepping the IT function and

neglecting governance, which can lead to significant costs, risks and diminished value of IT

investment. The process that organizations use to evaluate, select, invest and deploy

technology can lead to competitive differentiation and market growth or monetary loss, write-

downs and reputational damage. Our clients are overwhelmingly turning to EY for establishing

a governance framework that embraces disruptive technologies and encourages innovation

while ensuring risks are identified and managed.
