ESG is creating more scrutiny for companies, investors, and individuals, wherever they do business. Our firmwide series on ESG offers important conversations on the key litigation, business, regulatory, and other emerging issues impacting the markets today, and tomorrow.

The Highlights

Sustainability has become a strategic imperative for companies as they position themselves for the future. The environmental and social challenges the world faces today may be complex and challenging, but they are urgent. The stakes are getting higher and that isn’t expected to change any time soon.

In this video, our thought leaders discuss some of the top trends they are seeing across global markets and steps companies, investors, and individuals can take to put compliance and risk mitigation at the center of their business practices.

The Breadth of ESG risk

Partners Kristy Balsanek, Keara Gordon, Gwen Keyes Fleming, Matthew Goldberg, Isabelle Ord and Jeremy Sher discuss the wide range of challenges facing the world’s banking firms and how properly seizing ESG opportunities can create true business differentiators.
