Embedding ESG into the legal department of the future
As environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues take top priority for global companies and society more broadly, today’s legal teams are under fire from many directions. From geopolitical tension, trade disputes and supply chain disruptions, to climate change adaptation, remote working and diversity and inclusion issues, legal professionals are being challenged to understand how ESG is changing their company’s priorities and manage all of the various legal implications.
With the focus on ESG getting sharper across their organizations, leading in-house legal departments are also finding new ways to add value and derive opportunities from ESG in all of its dimensions.
