EmpoweredINSIGHT from Empowered Systems

In our latest EmpoweredINSIGHT, we discuss how the U.S. Department of Justice has greenlit ESG funds for 401(k) retirement plans, Credit Suisse's overhaul funding, and AbbVie and Teva Pharmaceuticals have reached settlement terms for opioid marketing in the United States.

Financial participants are clamouring for new regulations to curb exaggerated ESG claims, compliance managers are struggling to keep companies in compliance with Russian sanction evasion, and Canadian boards are seeing less activist pressure.

In this episode, we discuss the ISSB’s sustainability standards aligning with EU frameworks, the UK’s FTSE 350 report on women in executive roles, and the EU’s draft law on child labour and modern slavery.
