Environment, Social and Governance
"ESG" in the broadest sense covers environmental, social and governance issues but consensus on details of the meaning can vary and public perceptions are changing rapidly.
Our ESG team has a robust understanding of the regulatory and policy drivers of the market and experience across a wide range of sectors and contexts. We take a holistic approach, covering a wide range of areas - from climate change and resource efficiency, human rights and community engagement, antibribery and corruption, transparency and disclosure, product governance, and risk management more generally.
Sustainable Futures is our global ESG blog, where you will find insights, commentary and news from our dedicated ESG lawyers around the globe.
In Conversation with the ESG Team is the media hub for Linklaters' global ESG practice. On this page you can access videos, webinars and podcasts in which experts from around the world discuss the key ESG issues of today.
