Copy LinkOver 130 ESG members and invited guests attended an exclusive Center Briefing on ESG disclosure litigation provided by Lyuba Goltser, P.J. Himelfarb, and Stacy Nettleton, partners at Weil, Gotshal & Manges, and Danielle Do, SVP, Chief Corporate & Securities Counsel and ESG Leader at Synchrony Financial.
In the past few years, we have seen a significant increase in “voluntary” ESG disclosure (though issuers may not feel it is voluntary given the increased pressure from stakeholders to disclose). These disclosures have been largely qualitative and historical. Today we are seeing an increase in forward-looking disclosure, largely in the form of diversity and environmental targets/goals, which are often more quantitative. While there are good business reasons to make these disclosures, they can also increase litigation risk.
