As the regulatory, legal and political landscape surrounding greenwashing and climate-related litigation continues to evolve, corporates and financial institutions face increasing scrutiny and potential liability. The Greenwashing, Climate Litigation and Liability Management Summit 2025 will provide a comprehensive analysis of these emerging legal and regulatory risks and offer practical strategies to navigate them.

Regulatory requirements for Increased climate-related disclosure are likely to lead to increased climate-related litigation. In the UK, the FCA has developed the SDR regime, including the Anti-Greenwashing Rule, to increase disclosures. New regulation is also due this year for ESG ratings providers and the Treasury is consulting on the merits of introducing a UK Green Taxonomy. At the EU level, the CSRD requires wide-ranging sustainability disclosures, starting this year. The CSDDD also came into force in 2024, setting due diligence standards for identifying environmental impacts.

In addition to comprehensive anti-greenwashing regulation in the UK and Europe, financial institutions and companies have to contend with a growing anti-ESG backlash, particularly in the U.S., exposing them to differing regulatory and litigation risks across jurisdictions. In some places they may be viewed as not doing enough and in others too much.

This timely summit will draw all these threads together and provide delegates with actionable insights about how best to manage a rapidly evolving environment.
