ESG Podcast Ep14 - Environmental Justice: Federal and State Trends

Legal Listening: The Fox Rothschild LLP Podcast

New measures are in place that emphasize environmental justice requirements on businesses already located in or looking to open in underserved and overburdened communities. Host David Colvin, Co-Chair of the firm’s ESG Practice Group, is joined once again by his Fox colleague, environmental law attorney Adam Cutler. In Episode 14, they explore the federal and state trends intended to ensure environmental justice accountability. The episode examines the business implications of President Biden’s recent environmental justice executive order, and how business should start preparing for more legislation on a state level that falls in line with regulations recently enacted in New Jersey and New York. It also offers an insightful look at how environmental justice issues intersect with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
