ESG has been a trending area of litigation in recent times and corporate counsels are being challenged to be proactive in assessing the risk their company may be opened up to when making ESG commitments. No industry has been immune with recent investigations stretching from FMCG to fashion. These investigations have been brought by both the UK’s Competition & Markets Authority and the European Commission.
