At Accord Group Holdings, we recognize the critical importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors in driving sustainable value creation for our stakeholders. Our commitment to transparent and effective ESG governance is managed at the highest levels of our organization. Managing Partners hold ultimate responsibility for overseeing ESG-related risks and opportunities. They ensure that ESG considerations are integrated into policy, strategy, risk management and reporting processes and align with the long-term interests of stakeholders. They also ensure that the firm has the appropriate resources and budget to implement its ESG plan. Managing Partners receive regular updates on ESG performance, risks, and initiatives through our ESG Steering Committee.
Our ESG Steering Committee is comprised of senior leaders from different business units, including our CFO, and is led by an Accord Managing Partner, who serves as ESG Officer. The ESG Steering Committee is responsible for assessing and managing ESG-related risks and opportunities, including climate risk. The ESG Steering Committee reports to the Managing Partners and meets regularly to ensure that the ESG plan is embedded across all levels of the organization through clear accountability, resource allocation, and performance monitoring mechanisms.
