Environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives are often driven by HR teams – sometimes leading the entire programme, or more commonly, overseeing the ‘S’ (social) components of ESG strategies for companies.
As a result, HR is frequently responsible for core ESG initiatives, including workplace health and safety, inclusion, equality and diversity (IE&D), equal pay audits, whistleblowing policies, anti-harassment and anti-bullying training, ethical supply chain governance, modern slavery prevention, anti-bribery compliance, and business and human rights plans.
Each of these areas represents a specialised practice within employment law and HR compliance.
At Littler, we have specialist lawyers focused on the HR and employment law aspects of ESG initiatives for companies. Our team includes subject matter experts in all key ESG components.
We regularly support clients in implementing ESG strategies aligned with UN, ILO, EU, and OECD standards. Whether you’re coordinating a US-led or EU-led approach, we help businesses align corporate ESG initiatives across global operations.
