ESG: Commercial
Our expertise in ESG Commercial matters ensures your business is equipped to navigate the complex landscape of climate change and environmental regulations.
Overview
As climate change intensifies, businesses face increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices and comply with stricter environmental regulations. Companies must integrate renewable energy and conduct environmental due diligence to manage risks and ensure compliance.
Additionally, incorporating environmental protections into contracts helps safeguard supply chains and reduce environmental footprints. In this evolving regulatory landscape, effective contracting for climate change is essential, enabling businesses to meet legal obligations, mitigate risks, and contribute meaningfully to global sustainability efforts.
Our commercial contracts lawyers offer in-depth commercial expertise and specialised climate and environment experience. We can help ensure your contracts are prepared for whatever disruption climate change brings to your business, including supply chain environmental due diligence and protection, as well as contractual review and risk.
Within our team, we have individuals who specialise in advising on climate clauses and advising sustainability clients on contractual protections and risks.
