Abstract

Although sustainability has become central to the business strategy of many companies in recent years, companies should be cautious about making overly ambitious ESG statements. It turns out that the increase in published information is accompanied by an increase in shareholder disputes on ESG issues.

The article deals with the risks involved in publishing ESG statements, and based on recent case law shows which direction the dispute agenda could take in the future.
