Montréal Partner, Marie-Christine Valois, discusses the increasing significance of ESG factors for companies, as well as the solutions developed by law firms to support them, in an article published in Les Affaires magazine (in French only).
She explains the heightened litigation risks companies face in connection with regulations aimed at combating greenwashing.
“The solution is not necessarily to withdraw [environmental] disclosures from the public, but to ensure that the information published complies with applicable laws,” emphasizes Marie-Christine Valois.
Her comments were also featured in a second article in Les Affaires magazine addressing the impact of ESG factors on business law.
