Participants focus on how to incorporate sustainability considerations into Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) programs. Participants from all organizations with an interest in sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and Environmental, Social, & Governance (ESG) considerations, regardless of level of TPRM experience, are welcome. The committee has an educational focus, informing members about evolving sustainability frameworks, policies, metrics, procedures, regulations, etc., in the context of TPRM.
