Companies and sustainability teams face the dual challenge of rapidly evolving ESG standards and regulations, combined with the growing politicisation of ESG and sustainability issues.
ESG regulation increasingly makes it mandatory for businesses to assess and account for their ESG impacts, risks and opportunities. At the same time, there is a growing politicisation of ESG and sustainability, with a backlash against regulations perceived as overly burdensome and detrimental to competitiveness.
This complex landscape can make it hard for businesses to figure out how they are affected and how they should respond.
