In the recent EHS Today article “EHS and ESG: Navigating the Changing Landscape in 2025,” Adam Freedgood, principal and co-founder of Third Partners, discusses the impact of Trump administration policies on environmental, social, and governance (ESG)-related issues, including energy management, carbon footprint and pollution reduction, climate change risks, and DEI initiatives.
Freedgood covers seven areas undergoing the most change from Trump-era policies and rollbacks, the impacts on companies, and opportunities for EHS professionals to take action. Though California, Canada and EU regulations are still in place, as federal regulations become more lax or nonexistent, regulatory responsibility shifts to state and municipal-level regulations and company-led social and environmental sustainability efforts.

Third Partners can help your business navigate the changing landscape in 2025 with a customized full service ESG action plan and accelerated sustainability training and professional development through the Third Partners Academy.
