Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) has become a hot button and politicized issue in the past ten years or so. While most of the rules and regulations around ESG have been created by federal regulatory agencies, states are increasingly creating laws that further or hinder ESG goals. This program is about the current landscape of ESG as it relates to corporate America. New regulations are cropping up such as the SEC climate rule, which would require companies to disclose their carbon emissions in a standardized way. This program will look at the different avenues that create change in the ESG space, such as government regulation, consumer/investor driven regulation, or incentives such as tax credits. Panelists will discuss these topics along with the future of ESG and give their thoughts on what the best approach might be and whether it will be driven by individual states or the federal government.
