ESG continues to dominate the agenda
We expect the pace of change on all matters environmental, social and governance (ESG) to continue accelerating in 2021.On the environmental front, climate change will remain high on the investor and regulatory agenda. 2020 saw a spate of high-profile climate pledges – from governments, banks, asset managers, pension schemes and corporates alike. The emphasis in 2021 will be on turning these announcements into credible action plans. The global climate summit, COP26, which is scheduled for November 2021, is acting as a beacon for more ambitious climate strategies and regulatory action from a number of countries. Our ESG team has a robust understanding of the regulatory and policy drivers of the market and experience across a wide range of sectors and contexts. We take a holistic approach, covering a wide range of areas - from climate change and resource efficiency, human rights and community engagement, antibribery and corruption, transparency and disclosure, product governance, and risk management more generally.
