Session information
What could possibly go wrong? ESG-related disputes: litigation and enforcement
Tuesday 28 February (1630 - 1745)
Description
As ESG committments have proliferated, so have related litigation and enforcement. Overpromising and underdelivering has proven costly in a range of litigation, such as shareholder and citizen suits, as well as government investigations and enforcement. ESG-related disputes transcend greenwashing claims and also involve challenges to various relevant standards and practices. This panel will offer global perspectives on recent disputes- related developments and address strategies for mitigating ESG risks, including essential roles for legal, compliance, and other professionals.
