Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

Many businesses increasingly embrace responsible commercial practices (CSR/Corporate Social Responsibility), including a focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. A rapidly evolving reporting and regulatory landscape differs significantly across jurisdictions and industries. Companies are becoming increasingly aware, that failure to adapt to ESG market demands and address existing ESG compliance issues, can have a detrimental financial and reputational impact on their businesses, as well as hinder them in acquiring new talent. Finally, strong sustainability programs and ESG compliance is, more than ever, perceived as an indicator for sound and reliable company performance in the future.
