Description

For some time, ESG has been gaining attention from large law firms, auditors and their clients. ESG issues are also gaining traction in other circles in the legal profession, notably alternative business structures. ESG frameworks evaluate business practices and performance but also measure risks and opportunities. The panel will assess each pillar of ESG (environmental, social, governance), exploring the practices and steps law firms and alternative business structures can adopt and implement to uphold the 2030 UN Sustainability and Development Goals.
