This report explores the key environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities identified by the UN Global Compact of human rights, labour standards in the supply chain, environment and anti-corruption. The analysis indicates that the majority of companies are exposed to significant risks on these issues. Of those exposed to high risk, only a minority are acting to significantly mitigate those risks; 80% of companies in the FTSE All World Developed index face significant unmanaged ESG risks.
