As society grapples with urgent environmental, social, and governance issues, the role of lawyers in addressing these challenges is under the microscope. The question is no longer whether lawyers should engage with #ESG but rather how they can do so effectively, authentically, and holistically. Lawyers must take a proactive approach in leading and guiding the transition to a just, equitable and sustainable society. Legal ESG: Sao Paulo, taking place September 4th, 2024, is an opportunity for law firm leaders, lawyers, the clients they serve, and today’s leading ESG experts to come together, learn from each other, and drive forward the ESG agenda. It's a chance to reflect on the progress that has been made, confront the challenges that lie ahead, and commit to a future where ESG is a fundamental part of the legal profession and those we serve. Key ESG topics will anchor the discussions – including updates on the regulatory environment; the rise of greenwashing and related litigation; case studies of embedding ESG within an organization; an update on the role of United Nations Global Compact; and the view/perspective of client General Counsels and their role and responsibility in ESG.
