Abstract

With the continuous progress of the global society and the enhancement of the awareness of corporate responsibility, environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues have become the core considerations for the sustainable development of enterprises. This paper provides an in-depth study of corporate compliance risks in ESG from a legal perspective. By integrating the theories of jurisprudence, management and risk management, it systematically analyses the legal framework, regulatory trends and relevant standards of ESG compliance, and explores the challenges and opportunities for corporations in this area. This paper not only expands the research field of corporate legal management, but also provides jurisprudence support for the sustainable development of enterprises, and calls on enterprises to establish a comprehensive risk awareness in ESG compliance, actively respond to challenges, and contribute to global social responsibility.
