Disputes in the ESG Era and How To Mitigate the Risk of ESG Disputes


Knowledge & Social: Disputes in the ESG Era and How To Mitigate the Risk of ESG Disputes

Environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) issues are playing an increasingly significant role in investment making by companies and in Government policy-making.  As a result, ESG issues are also increasingly featuring in disputes, in particular international arbitration, both commercial between private parties and against host States under investment treaties.  

Our speakers from King & Spalding’s International Arbitration practice will discuss practical examples of ESG-related disputes and means for companies to mitigate the risk of such disputes, including: 

  • Environmental: disputes arising out of renewable energy projects, decommissioning of oil and gas assets; host States’ changes to their legislative framework (eg revoking subsidies for renewable energy investments; banning some types of energy or mining projects);
  • Social: the role of human rights in commercial disputes;
  • Governance: bribery / corruption allegations.
