ESG as a box-ticking exercise 40% of risk professionals view their organization's current ESG strategy as a box-ticking exercise, rather than driving real impact.

Risk at the board level Risks that are currently top of mind at board meetings are regulatory changes and compliance, human capital, including talent management, retention and recruitment and lack of diversity within the board or management team.

35% of risk professionals say an inability to provide real-time or near-real-time reporting hinders their ability to paint an accurate picture of risk for the board.

The areas of risk that boards have the least insight into are climate change and sustainability, cybersecurity and data breaches and capital and liquidity risk.

Workforce turnover - Human capital is the top operational risk for businesses in 2022, followed by technology associated with working from home, and not keeping pace with emerging technologies.

"From cyber attacks to ESG and regulatory compliance, businesses need to better understand and incorporate risk into their long-term planning to ensure a sustainable future. Technology will play a crucial role by painting a complete picture of risk and enabling decision-makers to monitor and mitigate risk quickly and efficiently. This builds resiliency into organizations and drives confidence among stakeholders."
