The Sustainability and ESG Advisory practice published a white paper, “2020 U.S. Policymaker ESG Primer,” in partnership with Refinitiv, one of the world’s largest providers of financial markets data and infrastructure. The primer, intended for investors, regulators and policymakers, provides foundational knowledge of what constitutes ESG, identifies what data is available and what data still needs to be collected, and highlights the frameworks and standards that currently exist. The primer is the only EGS-focused white paper being circulated over the next few weeks to incoming policymakers and senior government officials and advisors, many of whom may not have substantial knowledge of the topic.
The Paul, Weiss team included Chairman Brad Karp, corporate partners Mark Bergman and Ariel Deckelbaum, Chief Sustainability & ESG Officer Dave Curran, Sustainability & ESG Associate Sofía Martos and ESG Practice Attorney Madhuri Pavamani.
