New Climate and ESG Disclosures Are Likely: Are Federal Grant and Loan Recipients the Next Targets?

Partners Jessica Abrahams, Christopher Berendt, Elizabeth Diffley and Elizabeth Lange, senior counsel James Spaanstra, and counsel Douglas Benevento’s client alert, “New Climate and ESG Disclosures Are Likely: Are Federal Grant and Loan Recipients the Next Targets?” was published in Pratt’s Government Contracting Law Report.

In the article, the authors discuss how the broad and diverse Biden administration ESG initiatives related to climate change suggest that the United States is following the path of the European Union in requiring public companies to provide enhanced disclosure of not just climate-related risks — but also to disclose on a broader set of environmental, social and corporate governance topics.
