“Mitigating Legal Risks of Association Foundation ESG and DEIA Programs”
“ESG” refers to the three broad pillars of Environmental, Social, and Governance. While ESG is a broader concept than Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (“DEIA”), it includes and incorporates DEIA. While nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations are not subject to the specific ESG regulatory requirements and legal standards applicable to certain for-profit companies, nonprofits have incorporated DEIA into their programs, activities, governance, and operations for years, and are increasingly voluntarily incorporating ESG principles and practices into their organizations. They may do so under pressure from their boards of directors, members, employees, grant-makers, donors, sponsors, and others. They also may do so in order to attract and retain a younger generation of staff that is increasingly sensitized to and mindful of ESG principles.
In doing so, nonprofits expose themselves to potential legal jeopardy in a wide array of areas. This webinar explains the legal risks inherent with ESG-related initiatives for nonprofits – from employment law to contracts to state laws and orders restricting DEIA initiatives to misrepresentation and greenwashing to member derivative suits to data privacy and security – and provides practical tips and guidance on how they can effectively mitigate those risks.
