Governance Oversight

Governance Oversight

Successful sustainable operation of a company is impossible without strong oversight on the top level. At IPG, specific ESG topics are overseen by the Board as a whole, or by the Board committee generally responsible for the subject matter. The Board supports and regularly inquiries about progress in the Company’s reporting of ESG policies, metrics and related disclosures.

The Board periodically reviews an enterprise-level ESG risk assessment to identify and address ESG risks that could have a material impact on the Company based on the most recent materiality assessment.
