• Sommario/riassunto: This book critically examines the legal and regulatory framework for environmental social governance (ESG) regulation in the South African hemisphere. It focuses on the compliance of local and international companies with ESG requirements in Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries in promoting shared values through good governance practices. The book discusses the above in a legal context, with particular attention to Southern African corporate laws and the legal and regulatory frameworks related to human rights and environmental law in SADC. The book is valuable for students, practitioners, and researchers.
