Publication excerpt
"Over the last 15 years, businesses increasingly have sought to integrate ESG considerations into their strategies, operations, investment decisions and communications. More recently, ESG has become further polarised and, in conjunction with that polarisation, the legal and regulatory landscape has become increasingly fragmented. This fragmentation intensified considerably in 2025, with the EU, the United States and many other countries globally taking divergent paths on key ESG policies, laws and regulations. In the United States, fragmentation also exists at the state level. The result is a complex and often contradictory patchwork for businesses to navigate."
