In Spring 2024, Morrison Foerster once again partnered with Corporate Counsel to launch a 27-question benchmarking survey of in-house counsel querying organizational, individual, and departmental attitudes and approaches to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. The now-annual study and report, “GCs and ESG: Practices, Priorities, and Perspectives,” measures shifts, values, and best practices used by U.S. corporations, governmental agencies, and nonprofit organizations.
Below you can find the full ESG survey report and several of MoFo’s ESG resources, which provide further insights for leaders involved in developing ESG strategies and managing risks tied to corporate value.
View the full report.
View “The Future of ESG: Materiality, Good Governance, and Data Will Shape Success,” a supplement to the report by Suz Mac Cormac.
In October 2024, MoFo will host a virtual event highlighting this year's survey results, including a fireside chat and interactive panel discussion with industry leaders. Please sign up to receive the event invite in the coming weeks.
