A template briefing for in-house counsel to use to educate business executives on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues and corporate social responsibility (CSR) in US supply chains. This business briefing defines ESG and CSR and explains why they should be important to the company. This briefing also includes information to help businesses that do not have an ESG supply chain program decide whether and how to develop and implement one. This briefing does not cover compliance with non-US ESG supply chain laws or regulations or policies developed by international organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), or industry groups.
