Institutional Culture Video Series: Assessing Opportunities and Mitigating Risks

Institutional Culture Video Series: Assessing Opportunities and Mitigating Risks

August 2022, Covington Alert

Few recent developments have had a greater impact on public companies and their boards of directors than the increasing scrutiny on companies' institutional culture, social commitments, and community impact. In this series, leaders of Covington's Institutional Culture and Social Responsibility practice discuss culture investigations, culture assessments, and civil rights or racial equity audits.

Whether motivated by shareholder proposals, board or other stakeholder interest, media attention, regulatory scrutiny, or internal complaints, these projects assist companies in evaluating whether they are meeting the commitments they made to their employees, customers, or the public. Join Aaron Lewis, Eric Holder, Nancy Kestenbaum, and Lindsay Burke as they explain why companies may be interested in conducting an assessment, what these assessments entail, and how Covington has been an innovator in the space.
