ESG network launches for young professionals

Want to help shape the future of environmental, social and governance (ESG) law? Then join the Young ESG Professionals Network (YESGPN), launched this month by Iris Karaman and Kate Chan, both associates at international firm Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman.

Karaman explains the network will drive change by collaborating and sharing knowledge.

Chan says: ‘Get ESG right and the benefits can be substantial but get it wrong and companies could find themselves staring down the barrel of significant legal and financial penalties, reputational damage and the loss of business opportunities.’

The network has a series of events planned in coming months. Join the network on LinkedIn here.
