Environmental Justice 201: Evaluating EJ Risks and Opportunities (Sept 14, 2023)

Environmental Justice 201: Evaluating EJ Risks and Opportunities (Sept 14, 2023) a.ouko@acc.com
On-Demand

The Biden Administration's whole-of-government approach to environmental justice (EJ) has led to a plethora of new regulations, guidance, and considerations for industry coming from numerous federal agencies. There has also been a significant uptick in state legislative and regulatory activity in recent years. While these developments have impacted layers of company operations, permitting has been at the center of the discussion. During this Legal Update, Beveridge & Diamond's EJ Practice Chairs and Principals Stacey Sublett Halliday and Julius Redd (Washington, DC) will underscore practical tips and resources for companies to use to assess their own EJ risks in the permitting process, as well as highlighting common throughlines of new developments at the state and federal level. Mike Auger (Senior Vice President & Chief Business Officer, Ever-Green Energy) will provide an overview of Ever-Green's on-the-ground experience with these evolving EJ requirements and funding opportunities.

The term ESG has gotten much attention lately, but many aren’t even sure what it means. “ESG” stands for “Environmental, Social, and Governance” and is a framework to evaluate a company’s business as it relates to meeting its environmental, social, and governance strategic objectives. Investors, regulators, employees, and customers express increasing concern that the companies they deal with are concentrating on and improving their ESG metrics. It is without a doubt an area of focus that is here to stay.

In this article, we discuss examples of how General Counsel and law departments can burnish their profile while doing good and helping their employers with ESG matters.
