As the Litigation Finance industry matures, leading funding groups have been vocal about the importance of ESG investing. This is investing in support of Environmental issues, Social Justice, and Governance that works for the greater good. With that in mind, a new fund has been made available specifically for racial discrimination and harassment cases.
Black Wall Street details that when funding is used in support of ESG cases, there is more deployable cash for cases involving social justice—such as racial harassment and discrimination litigation. This facet of responsible investing is gaining popularity among third-party litigation funders and LPs who invest with them—leading to positive outcomes for those impacted by environmental and social justice failures.
In discrimination and harassment situations, it’s vital that the victims have a path toward justice against their abusers. It’s equally important that employers and services providers are brought to account when they do not follow the law.
In a recent video, George the Poet eloquently explains that we all have a responsibility to further the interests of justice. In this context, justice refers to public empowerment on ESG subjects that ultimately impact us all.
