Practical Law for environmental, social, and governance

Today, companies are facing more pressure to act responsibly and sustainably. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives have become increasingly important in recent years, with the demand for ESG information from companies rising.

Companies that prioritize ESG have the potential to:

• Attract and retain employees better
• Meet customer and supplier demands more easily
• Appeal more to sustainability-conscious investors
• Be better prepared to respond to future regulations

Additionally, an ESG focus can help protect companies from litigation and enforcement actions.

However, while more corporate stakeholders and companies are enhancing their focus on ESG, regulations can be difficult to define. Companies may also face challenges while developing disclosure controls and related policies and procedures for ESG information. As the focus of various ESG factors shifts and regulations change, in-house counsels must stay updated and informed.
