This is a brilliant resource for anyone involved in environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices. Davies’s comprehensive guide offers a deep dive into the multifaceted world of ESG, making it an invaluable tool for practitioners seeking to navigate this complex and rapidly evolving field. One of the standout features of this handbook is its cross-jurisdictional insight, which provides a global perspective and update on ESG issues. This makes it particularly useful for legal professionals, industry experts and consultants who need to stay abreast of the latest developments and best practices in ESG.  

The chapters and contributions from legal professionals and industry experts offer practical advice and real-world examples that enhance the reader’s understanding. The book also addresses emerging topics, such as ESG litigation and ESG in M&A. These sections are particularly insightful, providing readers with a forward-looking view of where ESG practices are headed. It must be acknowledged that ESG is a very fast-paced field. As soon as the book is published, there may be updates or new developments within a matter of days. This dynamic nature of ESG means that practitioners need to continuously stay informed and adapt to new information and regulations.
