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.
