Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) and its Impact on Businesses in Latin America

Summary

Environmental, Social, and Governance (‘ESG’) criteria are increasingly important in measures of corporate performance from the perspective of investors, employees, and business partners, and the influence of ESG is expanding rapidly in Latin America. Within both the ‘social’ and ‘governance’ categories, workplace matters are critical: diversity, equity, and inclusion (‘DEI’) among the workforce, Board composition, labour relations, work-life balance including alternative work arrangements, pension investment, observance of international labour standards in outsourcing, and management of employment law claims all can factor into an employer’s ESG rating. In this webinar, our panel will consider the unique legal issues arising in Latin America from the increasing focus on ESG.
