ESG, Climate Change and Sustainability Law

We have a multidisciplinary expertise that enables us to address the specific needs of our clients regarding ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance). In providing these services, we integrate all of our practice areas. In recent years, Climate Change Law has evolved into a highly specialized field, gradually distinguishing itself from its roots in Environmental Law. Simultaneously, the development of the 2030 Agenda has created a roadmap for global sustainability criteria that go beyond mere regulatory compliance. These criteria focus on the well-being of all stakeholders in business—shareholders, employees, suppliers, customers, and the communities where business operates. The climate crisis, coupled with the dynamic development of international relations and commitments since the signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015, has led to an increasing accumulation of regulations at national, international, and even sub-national levels. These regulations aim to redirect human activities and their impacts toward more sustainable practices. The climate emergency has elevated the importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria, particularly within industrial sectors. Whether driven by fiduciary responsibility that compels a company to account for its environmental impact and transition toward sustainability, or by contractual obligations from other parties, implementing ESG policies and criteria has become essential for companies striving to remain relevant and ahead of the curve in their markets. ESG is not merely about regulatory compliance, but about establishing a set of principles that serve as the foundation for developing investments and businesses aimed at creating well-being for all stakeholders.
