ESG litigation risk is on the rise for corporates. They are facing the prospect of real monetary liability and challenges to their business models and corporate governance, whether as a result of shareholder activism, or claims by individuals, groups or communities impacted by the company’s activities or those of its subsidiaries or supply chain partners. And directors of those companies find themselves particularly under the spotlight, with claims being crafted in some cases around breach of director duties. 

In this latest instalment of our Demystifying ESG series, we will be delving into what this evolving liability landscape means for companies, their directors and those advising boards, with perspectives from the US, the U.K. and Europe.
