Abstract: Abstract Governance resides in the world of it depends. Board members need to use their best judgment and broad experience to decide what’s important to pay attention to. Board membership is voted by investors, and some of them use environmental, social, and governance (ESG) indicators to make investment decisions. ESG contains non-financial metrics, such as energy and emissions, to evaluate the health of an organization. Internally, boards need to synthesize climate reports presented by the executive team. Externally, boards need to be responsive to investors and global concerns. Energy strategists need to supervise these interrelated communication flows, helping to make sense out of it all. Part V has two chapters that examine energy indicators through the internal and external roles of a board.
