Morrison Foerster once again partnered with Corporate Counsel to launch a 27-question benchmarking survey of in-house counsel querying organizational, individual, and departmental attitudes and approaches to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. The second annual report, GCs and ESG: Practices, Priorities and Perspectives, details the survey’s first year of comparative data to reveal year-over-year practical and cultural shifts.
Below you can find the full ESG survey report and several of MoFo’s ESG resources that provide further insights for leaders involved in developing ESG strategies and managing risks tied to corporate value.

MoFo hosted a virtual event highlighting this year’s survey results on June 22, 2023, including a fireside chat and interactive panel discussion with industry leaders. We will explore how the role of in-house legal leaders has shifted and how ESG considerations have morphed from a nice-to-have marketing strategy to a top regulatory priority and significant concern for stakeholders. The virtual event provided commentary and insights for legal departments across a variety of ESG-related issues. View event recording.
