Sustainability Legislation & Regulation Monitor

Monitoring sustainability-related legal, regulatory and policy developments across the U.S.

Sustainability factors continue to be an important and evolving consideration in relation to the global economy, playing a significant role in how businesses approach long-term strategic decisions. Investors, corporations and their stakeholders are under heightened pressure to integrate sustainability considerations into their business strategies and practices to reduce risk and create value. A broad cohort of regulators, lawmakers and policymakers are focused on creating disclosure and reporting frameworks that promote transparency with respect to operational impacts on the environment and stakeholders, as well as enacting and promulgating legislation and rulemaking initiatives that directly impact how stakeholders may (and in some cases, may not) take sustainability factors into consideration when making business and investment decisions.

Akin's resource tracker includes key coverage of the latest sustainability-related legal and regulatory developments to keep readers informed about this rapidly evolving landscape.
