Companies are under increasing pressure to be more ethical, sustainable and climate-friendly. Failure to comply with environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria can have significant legal, reputational and financial consequences.
It’s not just about compliance - sustainable organisations are also likely to be more resilient to future disruption.
Our global team has extensive knowledge and experience of the real-world implications of ESG. We work alongside clients to offer practical advice on sustainability strategy, supply chain, business ethics, social justice concerns, employment practices and board diversity and accountability.
