Listed Company Roundtable - The New World Order
UK companies are stuck in the middle from a compliance, governance, and risk perspective.
Changes in the US due to the Trump administration's approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, as well as developments in ESG litigation and investigations, are creating a sea of uncharted waters. The European Commission's publication on 26 February of a broad-ranging Omnibus amendments to CSRD, Taxonomy, and CSDDD also inserted uncertainty to businesses norms.
These developments require quick reactions and decisive thinking about how these changes are impacting the way multinationals think about their business and reporting lines, as well as the governance structures required to manage their legal obligations in multiple jurisdictions.
US colleagues from our governance, strategic risk, investigations, and litigation practices, along with our EU sustainability experts, shared unique insights on what these developments mean for UK companies.
Please see below for further materials in relation to the recent developments in the US and the EU on DEI and ESG and related topics.
