Winston’s Environmental Law Update

A growing number of companies are pledging to achieve net-zero carbon emissions over the coming decades. With this, activists and academics are increasing scrutiny of such claims. Congress is holding hearings examining alleged “greenwashing” by corporations. And activists recently published a report examining the net-zero pledges of specific companies and criticizing the transparency and integrity of many such pledges. Now is the time for companies to revisit their climate, sustainability, and environmental, social, governance (ESG) substantiation and compliance procedures.
