Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)

Climate change and sustainability issues are increasingly heard and receiving attention. This has prompted a shift in the regulatory and legal landscape towards the incorporation of environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations. From the introduction of policy changes to new regulatory frameworks, governments and regulatory bodies are reacting to the growing momentum for environmental and sustainable change, creating an environment that may feel uncertain and unpredictable.

Our team of multidisciplinary and experienced lawyers are capable of navigating emerging opportunities and obligations to implement ESG practices into businesses and operations. We are equipped to support businesses and clients as they seek to transition their practices, working alongside you to analyse emerging risks, establish sustainable practices and comply with developing regulations – providing viable and economic business solutions in the face of new ESG challenges.
