Sustainability & ESG Legal Forum 2026

Sustainability and ESG are now firmly embedded in business decision‑making. At the Sustainability & ESG Legal Forum 2026, the discussion highlighted just how critical it is for organizations to stay ahead of an increasingly complex and fast‑moving landscape. The conversation reflected a clear shift from ambition to pragmatism, moving beyond high‑level strategy and compliance towards long‑term thinking around risk management, resilience and value creation. As regulatory expectations evolve and stakeholder scrutiny intensifies, sustainability is no longer a standalone agenda but a core component of business planning and governance. For a snapshot of what shaped the forum discussions, and the key challenges emerging on the horizon hear insights from Farisa Khan (The Coca-Cola Company) , Stuart Lemmon (SE Advisory Services) and Clay Brown (B-Lab Global), as they reflect on the practical realities facing organizations navigating today’s sustainability environment.
