Last Year Spelled S-P-A-C; This Year Spells E-S-G!
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) have been buzzed about for years; however, current events have catapulted ESG to the main stage. The SEC’s recent announcement of a Climate and ESG Task Force and request for public comment on climate change disclosure requirements make ESG not just buzz worthy but also a necessary consideration for companies and counsel alike. M&A practitioners must be prepared to advise clients on ESG issues, from corporate sustainability practices to stock exchange and federal disclosure requirements, and Practical Guidance has you covered. Check out the ESG Resource Kit for wide-span coverage of this all-important topic, including ESG and CSR considerations in practice areas such as Corporate and M&A, Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation, Real Estate, Commercial Transactions, and Capital Markets & Corporate Governance.
