ESG Litigation & Enforcement Tracking
ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) issues are more prominent than ever. A heightened focus on ESG responsibility for public and private companies creates both risks and opportunities, leaving executives, managers, and stakeholders with an increasingly complex landscape to navigate. Alston & Bird’s ESG Advisory Team regularly assists companies with understanding the dynamics of ESG, the various related regulations being implemented in both the United States and abroad, how to tailor business strategies to address actual or potential shareholder proposals, and how to craft strategies and materials to minimize litigation and enforcement risk. Our ESG Tracker provides some of the background underlying our strategic advice: select federal and state enforcement actions, litigation, and trends in shareholder proposals.
