The global climate crisis and biodiversity breakdown demands an entirely new way of doing business. And environmental, social and governance matters (or ESG) is fast becoming a hot topic for lawyers all over the world. ESG is not only an increasingly necessary requirement for our planet, but it’s also an opportunity for in-house lawyers to lead change in creating sustainable growth for their business. After all, sustainable business is smart business.
