Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) is a complex issue impacting numerous aspects of corporate decision-making in Canada and around the world.

It is clear that ESG is a new business reality and companies are looking for ways to implement ESG best practices into their operations. As you explore what ESG means for your business, Bennett Jones ESG advisors are available to help you assess the risks, capitalize on opportunities and partner with you to weave ESG into your organization.

On February 4, 2021, Bennett Jones hosted the last of a three-part series focusing on why ESG matters to your business and what you can do to drive ESG within your organization. To further those conversations, we produced a practical and high-level overview of the legal, operational and reputational tenets of an effective ESG strategy.

Recordings of the series may be viewed below:

• Session 1 | What Is ESG and Why It Matters to Your Business
• Session 2 | Risks, Opportunities and Implementation—Part I: Corporate Reporting, Climate Change and Environment
• Session 3 | Risks, Opportunities and Implementation—Part II: Employees, Indigenous Communities and Project Management and Approvals

Bennett Jones provides complete ESG-related advice using our deep knowledge and wide experience garnered from advising clients on domestic and international business law relating to corporate governance, securities disclosure, corporate reporting, environmental law, climate change, indigenous relations, project development, supply chain management and crisis management.
