Environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations are at the forefront for governments, regulators, consumers and employees.
When it comes to developing, implementing and reporting on strategy, businesses are beginning to see ESG as central to creating long-term value.
ESG is proving a material driver of financial performance and business resilience. Businesses cannot ignore the growing momentum behind ESG and the drive to greater disclosure and transparency.
We have a dedicated global cross-practice ESG group, which provides solutions to our clients both in addressing ESG risks, opportunities and compliance, as well as ESG-related litigation.

Corporates are under increasing pressure to account for how they manage their people, as well as the impact they have on the communities and society around them. Whether they pay fairly, develop and look after their workforce, are inclusive and diverse, and ensure integrity in their supply chains in relation to human rights and business ethics, the scrutiny comes from all quarters and is fast becoming a competitive driver.
We advise employers across the range of human resource issues, from the policies, procedures and training that support best practice, for example on inclusion and diversity, mental health and wellbeing, work-life balance, pay and reward mechanisms, to supply chain integrity, as well as investigations into workplace issues, such as bribery and corruption, discrimination and harassment, and other issues of reputational importance.
Our Global HR Audit is a compliance tool we are developing that helps employers build their ESG profile in relation to their workplace policies and practices, in particular as they relate to the various UN Sustainable Development Goals and principles of the UN Global Compact. It is just one aspect of the holistic approach we take in supporting our clients through the myriad tricky issues that arise on the “S” in ESG.
