Businesses need to put social responsibility at the fore to avoid long-term reputational damage following the pandemic, IRM Environmental and Social Governance Group chair Anita Punwani told the BBC in an interview.

Anita Punwani CFIRM has been appointed chair of IRM’s new Environmental & Social Governance (ESG) SIG. Her passion is to promote the role of risk management in ESG and contribute to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
