The rise of ESG and climate litigation: With the new wave of climate and ESG litigation, what are the growing risks for directors and boards, and which sectors are now in the firing line? Supply chain transparency challenges: What are the real-world challenges of achieving supply chain transparency, and why might the next competitive advantage lie in the ability to trace and prove responsible sourcing? • The future of ESG in the boardroom: Will ESG still be a boardroom talking point in 2040, or will it simply become part of normal business practice? Navigating divergent regulations: What are the practical strategies to navigate diverging ESG regulations across the U.S. and Europe, including tailoring disclosures and managing legal risks in different markets? The centrality of governance: Why is robust governance now central to ESG, and how can it protect businesses from reputational and legal pitfalls in a rapidly changing environment?
