How it works

  • Quarterly virtual roundtables and in-person salons facilitated by HotTopics.
  • Dedicated workstreams on awareness/education, metrics and KPIs, technical guidelines, and policy engagement.
  • Peer-to-peer resource development, including best practice guidelines, policies, and action checklists.
  • Case studies showcasing successful ESG leadership in technology.
