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.

From executive orders to state laws, elements of ESG are being transformed.

Podcast hosts David Colvin and Karen Davis, who also co-chair the firm’s ESG Practice Group, explore the impact of the New York Climate Change Superfund Act and consider how it may serve as a springboard toward a potential uptick in state climate change actions.

They also turn to the Trump administration’s executive orders regarding DEI. This episode explains what the actions mean for government contractors as well as private companies. It also offers suggestions on what companies should do during the safe harbor period that runs until April of this year.
