BRIEF

​

While there has been significant discussions and debates on various issues relating to ESG globally – a lot of it has been viewed from a western lens and the focus has largely been on the US, UK and US markets. Little to no discussion on ESG is centred around Emerging Markets, which comes with its own unique challenges and several companies face huge challenges in implementing ESG principles in such countries.

​

KEY ISSUES DISCUSSED

​

• Introduction: What does it really mean – the ‘E’, ‘S’, and ‘G’ in emerging markets

• The impact of new and upcoming ESG Regulations on stakeholders

• Litigation and Enforcement: The environment, greenwashing and business and human rights

• Open Roundtable Discussion

• The fad that will not save the planet

• Forums for the Future: New opportunities for using arbitration
