A conference presented by the IBA European Regional Forum, the IBA North American Regional Forum, the IBA Energy, Environment, Natural Resources and Infrastructure Law Section (SEERIL), the IBA Business Human Rights Committee and the IBA Law Firm Management Committee.

Despite global fractures in politics, trade and regulation, ESG is not disappearing. Instead, it is evolving, diversifying and recalibrating. While some regions are deepening their commitments, others must redefine ESG through shifting regulatory, political, and market pressures.

This conference will bring together senior in-house counsel and leading private practice lawyers to examine the legal imperatives shaping ESG’s future. We will explore the complex interplay between anti-corruption enforcement, trade and investment conflicts, and the tension between legal harmonisation and divergence across borders. We will consider how these forces are reshaping business strategies, compliance frameworks, and the role of lawyers today in navigating both the risks and the opportunities of the ESG of tomorrow.
