ESG in Action: the role of In-House Legal teams in sustainability success

Thinking Legal Pod by Boyes Turner

At the beginning of October we held our annual conference of Heads of Legal and GCs with the theme "Embedding the in-house legal team at the heart of the business" which included expert panels sharing their views.

Our first panel session showed how in-house legal teams are becoming pivotal in steering businesses towards sustainability and managing potential risks. Featuring insights from experts like Nick Carter, Anna Stanley, Francine Godrich, and Michael Astle, this discussion promises a comprehensive look at why ESG policies are no longer optional but essential. Get an insider's perspective on how B Corp certifications are reshaping industries globally, and hear from Francine Godrich about an innovative office move that slashed carbon emissions for her company.
Our panel, led by Nick, wraps up a thought-provoking conversation that spans across industries, from music tech to science, spotlighting the young voices demanding environmental accountability. We explore the diverse motivations behind ESG adoption and how these strategies are shaping today's business landscape.
