ISN hosted an ESG Assure Spotlight event which provided an opportunity for Hiring Clients to collaborate and discuss contractor management best practices to help drive continuous improvement in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives.

Highlights from the Event
Hiring Clients shared valuable information on ways to use ISNetworld's new ESG Assure™ tools to set and help achieve ESG goals to further enhance their contractor sustainability programs. Additional presenters included ISN representatives, ISN customer Equinor, as well as industry leaders representing Blackstone and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) to provide insight on potential upcoming changes to regulatory requirements and best practices for ESG strategic priorities.

Collaboration and best-practice sharing were common themes from this event. Constructive discussion and dialogue amongst the attendees revolved around topics such as ESG expectations, ESG risks, upcoming ESG enhancements, and ESG trends we're seeing from our data collection.

- Almost half of contractors and suppliers have policies in place regarding protection of human rights (46%), diversity and inclusion (47%), and forced
labor (44%)

- Nearly 60% of contractors and suppliers have implemented an Environmental Management System (EMS)
