New ESG Quick Guides for 2026

In our ESG Legal Outlook 2026, we identified a number of key trends that are likely to shape the sustainability regulatory landscape this year, including:

• The realities of complex supply chain due diligence start to bite

• Disclosure regimes continue to evolve rapidly but interoperability remains a challenge

• Expect more regulatory simplification and streamlining
