We analyse the rising risk of class action litigation and regulatory scrutiny for consumer firms engaging with the ESG agenda.

​Investors, consumers and other stakeholders increasingly want to hear from consumer sector companies concerning the environmental, social and governance (ESG) impacts of their businesses. However, as more companies begin sharing the positive ESG stories behind their businesses and brands in investor and consumer-related communications, there is a rising risk of class action litigation and regulatory scrutiny challenging whether those representations are true and not misleading, unsubstantiated or exaggerated compared to the realities of the business and its brands.

In this webinar, our disputes experts from the key class action jurisdictions of the US, UK and Australia, share their perspectives on how consumer sector companies can develop a robust approach to the opportunities presented by the increased interest in ESG, while minimizing the attendant risks of class action litigation and regulatory actions.
