We are delighted that our ESG Enforcement Tracker has been featured in The Lawyer’s Spotlight, recognising the firm’s work in mapping the emerging criminal and regulatory dimensions of ESG risk.

The feature includes insights from business crime partner Maria Cronin who developed the tracker in response to a clear gap in the ESG landscape. While civil ESG litigation has become increasingly familiar, criminal and regulatory ESG enforcement has remained largely unmapped.

The ESG Enforcement Tracker monitors ESG-related criminal, regulatory and enforcement activity across jurisdictions, providing companies with a clearer understanding of how regulatory expectations are evolving and where enforcement risk is beginning to crystallise.

As highlighted in The Lawyer, regulators such as the Serious Fraud Office and Competition and Markets Authority are sharpening their focus on ESG-related misstatements, greenwashing and supply-chain accountability, while NGOs are increasingly bringing coordinated actions to fill perceived enforcement gaps.

The recognition reflects Peters & Peters’ growing expertise at the intersection of ESG, business crime and regulatory enforcement, and the firm’s commitment to helping clients anticipate and prepare for future ESG scrutiny.
