ESG and Political Partisanship: Guidance for In-House Counsel

ESG is today’s political football. As Americans take sides and root for their home teams, companies find themselves at the crux of a battlefield that pitches corporate values, strategy, and reputation against a shifting and dynamic legal and political landscape. Join us for an informative panel discussion about practical strategies in-house counsel may employ to tackle ESG-related challenges.

The panel will be moderated by Mintz Member Jennifer Rubin, and include ML Strategies Executive Vice President & Director of Operations Alex Hecht, and Mintz attorney Nikki Rivers, and Michael Rider, Global General Counsel and Secretary at ResMed.

Our panel will address: 

• Political discourse in the C-suite - fostering a productive dialogue around political matters within your organization and managing the impact of political decision-making 

• Achieving corporate strategy in a politically charged election cycle – how you can help your C-suite align your company's strategic goals with ESG priorities against this backdrop. 

• The future of ESG social programs – how corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion goals can (still) be achieved in light of a shifting legal landscape
