Sustainability and ESG have become essential factors to doing business in the modern world. ESG's objectives cover a broad spectrum of issues, such as reducing the emissions of carbon and other toxic wastes; human-rights abuses; and promoting and ensuring fair labor practices. ESG also addresses and prioritizes diversity and inclusion.
This practical and useful guide defines, explains, and supports the implementation of a business centric approach to ESG for the corporation. Written by practice leaders and lawyers, this guide identifies critical issues for investors, stakeholders, and counsel to fully understand the actions - and consequences - when it comes to implementing ESG policies. The creation of a more sustainable corporation will ultimately be less reliant on unsustainable practices and, with the support of its suppliers, will be more adept in responding to a rapidly changing world and marketplace.
To help legal professionals and their clients stay informed about developments in this ever-evolving field, this resource covers:
Defining ESG and the drivers behind the ESG movement
ESG investment strategies
ESG in supply chain and labor practices
Developing and implementing an effective ESG program
ESG marketing, disclosure factors
Privacy considerations for ESG, non-financial disclosure, and regulated disclosure
And more!
