SUMMARY:Panel 7: ESG: evolving regulation and new enforcement 
DESCRIPTION:Environmental\, social and governance (ESG) regulations empha
 sise more and more as they become increasingly important in terms of mee
 ting regulators’ reporting requirements\, as well as in compliance and d
 ue diligence\, to attract clients\, suppliers and potential workforce. E
 SG is not only becoming mandatory\; it is now a popular way for companie
 s to enhance their images and demonstrate their commitments to being rel
 iable and sustainable businesses.\n\nFollowing the adoption of the Europ
 ean Directive on the Duty of Vigilance and similar laws and regulations\
 , ESG-related disputes are a major risk faced by companies. The implemen
 tation of robust ESG compliance programmes – including applicable contra
 ctual provisions and internal investigations in the context of ESG – is 
 becoming a new trend for in-house counsel and compliance professional\, 
 as well as their external counsel and other advisers. \n\nThis practical
  panel will focus on how to meet related expectations set by regulators 
 and non-governmental organisations. The discussion will include perspect
 ives from lawyers and other experts regarding compliance with ESG standa
 rds and best practices for implementing robust ESG policies and conducti
 ng related internal investigations.\n
