Focusing on important cross jurisdictional relevant ESG litigation cases throughout the European region, the ESG Group - Europe has published ESG in Europe: Top Litigation Case Studies in 2022 - 2023. This report includes country-by-country case outcomes that have impacted ESG initiatives and regulations. Case types include climate litigation, greenwashing, major construction projects, “brown industries” litigation and corporate sustainability.

14 WSG ESG Group members in 9 European jurisdictions contributed to the report, which is a testament to the power of WSG member partnerships and the highest level of expertise WSG members provide on key industry updates.

In this feature article, Nicola Ellen, Head of Corporate Responsibility, and Joanne Sear, Principal Associate at member firm Shoosmiths, provide key insights on changing ESG issues over time and why a robust ESG strategy and evidence of progress is becoming ever more important.
