From green goals and legal guardrails – ESG in the UK In this episode, Dr Rosinus is joined by legal expert Miranda Ching to discuss white collar crime and recent ESG-developments in the UK. They examine the ongoing shift in ESG policy across the UK and the EU and how these trends are reshaping corporate sustainability reporting. Ms Ching notes, that the UK ESG-framework is often inspired by EU law and is best understood in that comparative context. In this light, Dr Rosinus highlights the 2021 German Federal Constitutional Court´s “climate ruling” (1 BvR 2656/18) which strengthened the state´s constitutional duty to protect the environment and safeguard future generations. The conversation also covers current UK and EU initiatives on white-collar enforcement, confiscation law and criminal prosecution. Dr Rosinus and Ms Ching also address practical challenges companies face in meeting evolving ESG expectations.
