Our ESG podcast series features short episodes covering core ESG concepts. Each podcast explores important issues for businesses that are concerned with developing and deploying an ESG profile, responding to increased scrutiny from regulators, investors and consumers regarding their environmental and social impact, and minimizing the potential legal and business risks that can be associated with ESG.

The Trump administration has issued approximately 130 executive orders so far, and many deal with environmental and energy matters.

Listen as David Colvin and Karen Davis, Co-Chairs of our ESG Practice, dive into the emerging themes of these executive orders.

They specifically dig into the details of EO 14260, “Protecting American Energy From State Overreach" — which calls for federal action against localized energy laws — and speculate whether the Trump administration will join litigation challenging energy laws out of New York and Vermont.

The bite-sized episode also explores how this executive order aligns with current EPA policies.
