Description
Join us for a joint breakfast hosted by the Business Human Rights Committee and the Securities and Capital Markets Committee, focusing on the growing role of ESG disclosures in capital markets transactions. As regulatory and investor scrutiny intensifies, ESG transparency has become a core component of capital raising, financings, mergers and acquisitions and ongoing reporting obligations. We will explore how ESG considerations, particularly around human rights and environmental impacts, are shaping deal terms, due diligence processes, financing transactions and listing requirements across jurisdictions.
