AGG Talks: Cross-Border Business
The Political and Legal Maze of ESG in the U.S. and Abroad
In this episode, Mike Burke, AGG Corporate partner and co-chair of the firm’s International Initiative, is joined by Rebecca Davis and Caroline Magee, leaders of AGG's ESG team, to unpack the challenges and opportunities of Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") issues in the U.S. Despite being a well-known term, ESG lacks a shared definition and is surrounded by political and regulatory challenges. Mike, Rebecca, and Caroline discuss the uncertain waters of ESG, how companies can balance state and federal regulations that are often at odds, and the impact of ESG on businesses and investors. They also explore the differences between ESG in the U.S. and EU and provide insights on how companies can effectively manage ESG-related risks.
