He is particularly expert in helping to organise large groups of shareholders, bondholders and other stakeholders to respond to catastrophic breakdowns in ESG at publicly listed companies.  \nSteven has repeatedly been ranked by independent legal directories. Chambers and Partners notes: ‘Steven deploys strong problem-solving abilities with the finesse only available to people of unusually high intelligence … praised for his hands-on approach and ability to work constructively on even the biggest and most complicated matters … He has a razor-sharp legal mind, is intellectually curious, and has strong business sense.’ He is a member of the Global Stewardship Committee of the International Corporate Governance Network and sits on the advisory board at the Centre for Sustainable Governance and Law in the Built Environment at University College London.  \nThis is the third annual edition of this helpful guide to ESG engagement and litigation.  \nESG is an acronym for the wide range of environmental, social and corporate governance standards that companies now increasingly say that they comply with, or which they are otherwise legally required to comply with. Companies make ESG promises and otherwise have ESG obligations to a variety of stakeholders, including their investors, their customers, their regulators and the wider community in which they operate.  \nBanks promise their regulators (and their investors) that they don’t engage in money laundering or terrorist financing. Fashion brands promise their customers (and, again, their investors) that their supply chains use sustainable materials and a properly paid workforce. Technology brands promise all of us that the prices we pay for their ubiquitous products are fair and competitive and that they respect the intellectual property rights of the (typically smaller) businesses they engage with.  \nInvestors increasingly consider ESG factors when making investment, divestment and stewardship decisions. Consumers increasingly consider ESG factors when deciding which products to buy.  \nWhen a company fails to comply with its ESG obligations and causes loss or damage to one or more categories of its stakeholders, those wronged stakeholders – the shareholders who invested based on promises that turned out to be untrue, or the customers who have been ripped off – could potentially engage with the company on an escalated and often collective basis, up to and including litigation.
