Please join Sidley’s cross-jurisdictional team of ESG and sustainability leaders from Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States for an engaging discussion on the latest developments in ESG and sustainability related disclosures and due diligence.
So far, 2025 is proving to be a dynamic year for ESG and sustainability, with regulators, legislators, and courts around the world pushing and pulling in different directions. We will help unpack these developments and offer insights into how companies should navigate disclosures and due diligence in this rapidly changing environment.
Key topics will include updates on:
- California’s intent to act as a national, even global, regulator of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate related disclosures
- Expected changes in the EU as part of the “omnibus” proposals for ESG reporting and due diligence.
- The UK Sustainability Disclosure Standards, UK Green Taxonomy, and Transition Plan Taskforce
- Status of US federal regulation of ESG and sustainability related disclosures
- The litigation risks that companies face on ESG matters, like climate change, human rights, and green claims
