Tuesday, January 10th (11:15 am - 12:15 pm PT)
With the increasing attention to ESG by Boards, investors, and governmental regulators, ESG goals are now at an intersection with labor and employment law. In this session, we covered what employers need to know about ESG: including, increasing state and federal regulatory reporting laws on human capital, international bellweather laws on mandatory human rights due diligence, trailblazing DEI initiatives, investor expectations for governance of ESG, and rising anti-ESG activist shareholder class actions. With a practical focus for employers, we discussed best practice recommendations for navigating all of these issues, along with real world examples and tips for how to support your company’s ESG goals while mitigating legal risk.
