Directors' Duties, ESG and Sustainable Strategies (häftad, eng)

Failing to navigate ESG impact and meet its challenges by adopting appropriate sustainable strategies not only carries significant legal and financial risk but also misses the huge opportunities for competitive advantage that arise from responsible business practices. Directors' Duties, ESG and Sustainable Strategies addresses a critical information gap by exploring the intersection between directors' statutory and fiduciary duties and the growing impact of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) on businesses.

Providing a new perspective on ESG, the book illustrates how ESG impact assessment is a vital component in good decision making, and how the design and implementation of responsible and sustainable strategies are fundamental in promoting corporate success. While established texts examine directors' duties and an emerging body of work focuses on the legal importance of ESG, this book uniquely navigates how these two areas converge in shaping modern corporate decision-making.

Key topics include: ESG development across an expanding array of social, environmental, and governance elements. ESG impact and legal and regulatory compliance. Risks of non-compliance, including civil and criminal liabilities, stakeholder and derivative actions, insolvency considerations, and personal liability.

Practical guidance on implementing best practice in adopting sustainable strategies to mitigate risk and enhance corporate success. This new book is essential reading for company directors, in-house counsel, private practitioners, and anyone advising on corporate governance and sustainability.

It provides a roadmap for navigating the complex legal and regulatory landscape, highlighting both the risks of failing to adopt sustainable strategies and the opportunities for competitive advantage through responsible business practices.
