Whom Is Corporate ESG Integration For?
Notions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and more recently, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) have found their way into the boardrooms of the world’s largest corporations. The prominence of this trend has revived the timeless debate over the true function of for-profit business. Traditional theory calls for a corporation to maximize shareholder’s profits—a view known as “shareholder primacy.” A competing contemporary school of thought finds that corporate purpose naturally extends beyond generating return on the investment of a given shareholder to reflect social objectives and the many dependent constituents of a business. As it stands, US corporate law tracks the former theory, which naturally leads those who view corporate social action as a tradeoff to question the legality of ESG’s widespread integration into business. This uncertainty reveals the necessity for domestic regulation addressing ESG’s integration and its reporting. No matter how you fall on the legality of its integration, ESG should and must be implemented into business to attain crucial sustainability goals. To further its sustainability efforts, the EU’s corporate sustainability regime creates a “horizontal framework” that encourages ESG integration through due diligence mandates and improves its reporting under a single taxonomy. This Note advocates for domestic regulators to implement a two-step approach to align business with ESG that draws influence from the EU’s regime. First, this approach should objectify ESG reporting so that firms’ non-financial impacts are more comparable. Second, it should induce ESG integration directly through obligatory due diligence rules and indirectly through tools like director renumeration and shareholder engagement. Not only will this approach further sustainability efforts, but it will also define directors’ legal obligations to the corporation and its shareholders when considering non-shareholder groups, and thus, resolve the uncertainty surrounding the legality of ESG’s integration. A corporation’s purpose, despite how the law perceives it, is a living reflection of societal values. The pervasive capitalistic mindset of the US has largely rendered this reflection to be pecuniary in nature, making the shareholder the primary concern and non-shareholders fringe issues. In recent years, however, this mindset has shifted to accommodate for stakeholders under the ESG umbrella. How US regulators address this trend will define our nation’s sustainability progress
Trademark Infringement: The Likelihood of Confusion of NFTs in the US and EU
The immutability of non-fungible tokens has made it an invaluable tool for asset ownership and authentication across a variety of industries. With the proliferation of NFTs comes the need to protect trademarks and prevent consumer confusion in the digital age. This Note explores the existing legal framework for trademark law in the United States and European Union. This Note argues for a new trademark standard that reflects the interconnected nature of a global digital society
Punishing Debtors in Bankruptcy During COVID-19
The 2019 Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19) led to widespread government-mandated lockdowns, causing numerous businesses to close their doors permanently. To assist financially distressed businesses and individuals during the pandemic, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). The Small Business Administration (SBA)—the agency tasked with implementing the CARES Act—distributed funds to individuals and businesses through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Part of the SBA’s eligibility requirements to receive funding through the PPP included an exclusion provision that barred debtors presently involved in any bankruptcy proceeding from receiving any PPP funding. Many debtors in bankruptcy filed suits in federal bankruptcy courts across the United States to enjoin the SBA from excluding applicants solely based on their bankruptcy status. Courts, such as the Second Circuit and the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maine, were split on whether the SBA violated Section 525(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or was within its right to deny PPP funding to debtors in bankruptcy. This Note explores the SBA’s rationale for excluding debtors in bankruptcy from PPP funding solely based on their bankruptcy status. This Note further analyzes the split court decisions regarding whether the PPP functioned more as a typical loan program or more as a grant. This Note then argues that the SBA’s decision to exclude debtors in bankruptcy from receiving PPP funding violated the anti-discrimination provision of the Bankruptcy Code. This Note further asserts that the courts siding in favor of the SBA incorrectly classified the PPP as a typical loan program. Lastly, this Note proposes solutions for the United States government to adopt more inclusive measures for business owners of all backgrounds and financial statuses in a future crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic
Racial Pay Equity in “White” Collar Workplaces
The racial pay gap in the US is staggering. Wealth disparities between Black, Latinx, and white households reflect the compound negative effects of discrimination, inequality, and lack of opportunities experienced by communities of color. One understudied way to address racial pay equity and the wealth gap is to examine how to widen career paths of high-paying, stable careers for people of color. Career paths are not equal. Some jobs are dead-end, minimum wage-paying, with little to no hope of promotion into a salary that catapults an earner into the next socioeconomic class. Others have growth potential, comfortable wages, and important employee benefits, like health care and retirement. In the corporate sector, with robust salaries and a growing number of jobs, the doors to high paying careers and promotional paths to leadership for people of color are too-often closed tight. This article theorizes that to combat racial pay inequity, and narrow the racial wealth gap, the corporate sector—especially the financial sector—must reexamine and realign their hiring, retention, and promotion practices to ensure success for the people of color that work for them. By relying upon socio-legal research and scholarship on the barriers facing workers of color in financial firms, analyzing the waves of structural reform efforts of employment discrimination class litigations, and providing a blueprint on how financial firms can disrupt bias and remedy racism and discrimination in their workplaces, this article hopes to spur a broader conversation on how to move the needle in racial pay equity
