How do President Trump’s Executive Orders on DEI impact German companies with business in the US? In a recent client webinar, Dr. Cordula Heldt, Head of Corporate Governance and Corporate Law at the German Institute for Capital Markets (Deutsches Aktieninstitut) and Head of Secretariat of the Commission of the German Corporate Governance Code, joined us to discuss potential DEI risks for transatlantic businesses. She, along with our panel of Freshfields partners from the US and Germany, discussed recent pronouncements by the Trump Administration and highlighted the increased risk of US enforcement, litigation, and reputational losses tied to DEI. Companies across the globe face unique challenges related to DEI and can't rely on a 'one-size-fits-all' solution. Rather, we recommend a holistic approach that carefully assesses potential US nexuses, appetite for risk, and core corporate values. For more on how US and EU companies can navigate the tensions between shifting US DEI priorities and the EU sustainability framework, see our recent blog at https://okt.to/c8sK95 and visit our US-focused website at https://okt.to/A2i7k4 Austin Evers | Jennifer Loeb | Juliane Hilf | Christoph H.
