#31 Sandra Cossart: Why is ESG increasingly getting its day in court?
The Grantham Institute - Climate Change and the Environment database now records more than 2000 cases of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, a tripling of the number since just 2019.
To discuss the rising tide of such legal cases and what's behind them, we welcome Sandra Cossart, Executive Director of Sherpa and strategic litigation expert. Some of Sherpa’s cases include current action seeking to get TotalEnergies to comply with the Paris Climate Agreement, a case seeking judicial investigation against fashion companies for alleged concealment of human trafficking and crimes against humanity in their supply chains and the prosecution of construction company Lafarge for crimes against humanity in Syria.
