The suppliers of capital are embedding ESG into investment decision-making and due diligence processes are being updated accordingly. Why? What does this mean for companies and regulators in Africa? How does this affect legal advice to clients? We will discuss these questions and others in the second session of the International Bar Association ESG Accelerator Training Programme!

As ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) continues to shape the legal and business landscape, I had the opportunity to complete the IBA ESG Accelerator Training Programme, designed for legal practitioners across Africa. The program offered rich insights into key areas such as ESG disclosures and reporting, sustainable finance, governance, and climate change. One session that stood out to me focused on ESG litigation and dispute resolution trends, exploring global and African case studies on stakeholder expectations, corporate liability, greenwashing disputes, and climate change litigation. This training highlighted the growing importance of ESG in legal practice, and I look forward to building on this knowledge in the future.
