Episode Eight - Environmental Justice

While the concept of environmental justice dates back to the 1960s and 1970s, federal and state governments have recently taken a far more proactive approach to it through a combination of executive orders, agency policies, regulations and statutes.

Host David Colvin, Co-Chair of Fox Rothschild’s Environmental, Social & Governance Practice Group, is joined by firm colleague and environmental law attorney Adam Cutler in this latest episode. The two explain how the concept of environmental justice relates to all three aspects of ESG, as well as how companies can examine the impact their operations and facilities may have on the surrounding communities.
