Partner Marc Dedman Moderates Panel on ESG and D&O Considerations, Sponsored by Lockton Tennessee

Partner Marc Dedman recently moderated a panel on ESG at the 2023 Cumberland Risk and Insurance Management Society (RIMS) Symposium in Nashville. Lockton Tennessee was the presenting sponsor of this year’s symposium, and the theme was “Brace for Impact.”

On February 23, Marc led a panel titled “ESG – A Key Factor Impacting Future D&O Placements: Best Practices and Considerations for Your Organization,” that delved into how environmental, social, and governance considerations can affect the crafting and issuing of Directors & Officers insurance policies.

Panel speakers included Meghan Marchica (Managing Director, Financial & Executive Liability at Hartford), Jeff Simpson (Senior Director, Ethics Compliance Assurance at CoreCivic), and Sandy Perantoni (ESG Director at LKQ).

Jim Dickson, Senior Vice President of Lockton commented, “As my partner Maggie Spalding and I discussed the various panel experts, we knew Marc was a natural as he is extremely detail-oriented and brings out the various complexities of ESG while avoiding groupthink.”

Marc added, “Lockton organized a remarkable panel which discussed risk, initiatives, and an integrated risk management approach to ESG, as well as what ‘E’ and ‘S’ and ‘G’ mean for business and insurer. It was both a pleasure and an honor to have moderated this topic with this panel.”
