Summary
Sustainability regulations are redefining how companies report and respond to climate-related risks and opportunities. In this episode, host Erika Schiller speaks with Stavros Gadinis , Director of the Berkeley Center for Law and Business , about the evolving legal landscape of ESG reporting. They examine the impact of federal rollbacks in the U.S., the rise of California’s new climate disclosure requirements , which will take effect in January 2026, and the broader regulatory push from the European Union. The conversation explores how voluntary frameworks such as the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol influence corporate practices. Erika and Stavros also emphasize the importance of transparency, innovation, and legal clarity in advancing sustainability goals.Don’t miss an episode—subscribe to ESG Decoded on your favorite podcast platform and follow us on social for the latest updates!
