The European Union has expressed a clear ambition to ensure that ESG factors play a pivotal role in the European market and beyond, to promote sustainable long term business models and behaviours.

Session 4 in our ESG Series focused on the European Union's current consultations on sustainable corporate governance in the context of the European Green Deal. We explored the scope of the proposed legislation including the mandatory Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence aspects, and we discussed how to influence the consultation process and how best to prepare for the next stage.
