World Services Group: European Employment & Labor Law: An ESG Perspective

The WSG European Employment & Labor Group has released its new publication, European Employment & Labor Law: An ESG Perspective, providing insights into how Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles are reshaping employment and labor law across Europe.

As businesses face growing pressure to adopt sustainable and ethical practices, the report highlights ESG’s role in influencing workforce strategies and corporate responsibility. Employers are expected not only to comply with evolving legal requirements, but also to develop forward-looking policies addressing sustainability, social responsibility, diversity and inclusion, fair pay, and human rights across operations and supply chains.

The report, developed in collaboration with leading WSG member firms across 22 European jurisdictions, serves as a practical resource to help employers anticipate legal developments, adopt best practices, and integrate ESG considerations into employment and labor strategies.

The Latvia chapter has been prepared by Ellex Associate partner Irina Rozenšteina and the Lithuania chapter has been prepared by Ellex Partner Ramūnas Petravičius.
