Description: Investors and activists focused on environmental, social and governance ("ESG") issues have gathered momentum in their efforts to require public companies and local governments to make more substantial disclosures about how their operations may be affected by ESG-related risks and opportunities. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), among other regulatory agencies, is currently considering what new rules to mandate regarding ESG disclosures that must be made to the investing public. This webinar will offer insights about the ESG disclosure movement, what regulatory changes are most likely to be enacted, and how companies may want to prepare for expected new requirements.
