Companies, their boards, and regulators are increasingly focused on ESG (environmental, social, and governance) risks and opportunities. If you haven’t been paying attention to developments related to ESG, now is the time to start.
“We began receiving requests from our members for ESG-focused programming a few years ago, as lawyers, compliance professionals, and others saw a need to build their knowledge,” says Seema Lal Meehan, Director, Special Projects and Senior Program Attorney at Practising Law Institute (PLI). The organizer of the upcoming PLI program ESG 2021: What It Means for Boards, Management, and Counsel, Meehan reports that interest in the topic is greater than ever this year, particularly as a growing number of Biglaw and other firms launch ESG-focused practices.
