The ESG Revolution: Redefining Corporate Governance In The Modern Era




Aarohi Prakash, CMR University, School of Legal Studies


ABSTRACT


Businesses are seeking greater accountability and sustainability due to the increase in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) regulations. In response to governments and regulatory bodies introducing stricter environmental, social, and governance compliance measures, companies need to adapt their governance structures to meet evolving expectations from investors, stakeholders, and society. In addition to traditional corporate responsibility, ESG principles are now embedded into legal frameworks that influence financial disclosures, risk management, and long-term strategic planning. This research examines the key impacts of ESG regulations on corporate governance, focusing on key regulatory developments, challenges, and opportunities for organizations. Based on a review of case studies and new trends, it provides insights into how organizations can effectively navigate the evolving ESG landscape while remaining profitable and ethical. Overall, the ESG revolution is not just a regulatory issue but a paradigm shift in the business models of modern businesses.


Keywords: Corporate Governance, Sustainability Compliance, Risk Management, Financial Disclosures.
