The automotive industry is unquestionably evolving at
considerable pace whether through advances in connectivity and
autonomy in vehicles, developments in the way that consumers access
and use vehicles or changes driven by the 'electric
revolution'.
Through our series of articles, "Views on an evolving
automotive industry", we will look at some of the legal,
regulatory and compliance issues that arise from these
unprecedented changes.
In this first of the series, we look at environmental, social
and governance (ESG) concerns relating to the
recent and ongoing changes in the industry and how such concerns
expressed by stakeholders and society at large are rapidly moving
up the business agenda.
