Sustainability Simplified

Welcome to our podcast series, where we delve into the world of ESG – Environmental, Social, and Governance principles – and explore its growing significance for our clients in the TMT sector. What was once seen as optional is now essential. ESG and sustainability has become a cornerstone of corporate strategy and a key driver of investment decisions. As the legislative and regulatory landscape continues to evolve, the importance of ESG only grows.

In this series, Frances Gourdie, Managing Associate in our Disputes and Investigations team and Simmons & Simmons’ TMT ESG lead, will guide you through a variety of topics alongside our in-house lawyers and some of our clients. Together, they’ll tackle issues such as greenwashing, competition, regulatory developments, and much more.

So, sit back, relax, and join us as we navigate the ever-changing ESG landscape.
