UIA Seminar about ESG in Hamburg 2025 - Ernst Giese as Speaker
"Come on, it’s ESG! The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the ESG Legal Galaxy"
..."Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) has become a reality for all economic actors. Companies around the world are facing regulation at many levels, both public and private. In addition, ESG is moving from the periphery to the mainstream, transforming the capital and financial market. How are companies dealing with these changes? Is ESG just a stumbling block or does it also offer opportunities? The seminar aims to explore the (best?) practices of companies and advisors in their day-to-day work in dealing with these transformations. The seminar will also focus on how to make ESG operational through contractual clauses to be included in supply chain contracts, general terms and conditions of purchase and other international contracts."... (UIA)
At this seminar, Ernst Giese, managing partner of Giese & Partner, will participate in a session entitled "A real thing or just a Potemkin village? ESG in the eyes of the current and future Manufacturing Hubs (Eastern Europe, India)".

This article explains the new practice, its benefits for banks, investors, and developers, and how it may streamline real estate financing in the Czech Republic.
