Keeping you in-the-know on environmental, social and governance developments

The transcript is now posted from our November 9 webcast “ESG Legal Developments in the EU” featuring a panel consisting of:

  • Dr. Marlen Vesper-Gräske, Principal Associate, Freshfields (Berlin)
  • Donato Calace, SVP of Accounts & Innovation, Datamaran (London)
  • Jacquelyn MacLennan, Partner, White & Case (Brussels)
  • William De Catelle, Associate, White & Case (Brussels)

During our hour conversation, we covered

  • ESG regulatory developments and enforcement in the EU and Member States
  • Areas of legal liability for ESG in the EU, including greenwashing and labeling
  • Climate risk management and emissions trading in the EU
  • Reporting frameworks
  • Updates on double materiality
  • Data needs and management
  • What US companies should be doing

A consistent theme of the panelists is that U.S. companies are more affected by EU ESG developments than perhaps they realize, and they need to make efforts to understand and track “extraterritorial” impacts of the new laws/directives.
