Michael De Nardo, Senior Multi-Asset Trader, Fideuram Asset Management (Ireland) dac and member of Compliance Institute’s Diversity & Inclusion Working Group highlights the emerging concept of placing DE&I initiatives into “warm storage”. The piece examines how Irish organisations, particularly those with US exposure are recalibrating how DE&I is communicated and governed in response to legal and reputational risks. It highlights the critical role of compliance in ensuring that, despite reduced visibility, organisations continue to meet their legal obligations, maintain robust controls, and manage the governance risks associated with this evolving approach.
