ESG (環境、社會與治理)

ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance)

Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) initiatives present important opportunities for businesses, but they can create significant legal and reputational risks. ESG is global, without borders and often implicates inconsistent or even contradictory regulations in different jurisdictions.

Effective management of inconsistent legal requirements necessitates a holistic understanding of not only potential supply chain issues but also the reporting, regulatory, and reputational impact of the business globally. A coordinated and consistent worldwide plan is critical.
