Description
The principle of environmental, social and governance (ESG) is an important concept that companies consider when making decisions. It encompasses a broad range of factors that stakeholders use to assess a corporation’s standards, evaluate future financial performance and manage risk. The complex ESG landscape requires a holistic approach, combining an in-depth knowledge of global investigation trends as well as international and national laws relevant to a certain industry. Connected to ESG are several considerations, including reporting and disclosures, corporate governance and due diligence, business and human rights, the climate crisis, environmental issues, the energy transition, sustainable finance and impact investment. Mismanaging ESG considerations can lead to legal issues, reputational harm and financial losses.
