Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

Unlocking environmental, social and governance success beyond the policies

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations have an increasing impact on all businesses. We know that ESG is about more than just policies. It ultimately needs to form a central part of the way in which your company does business. It starts with your corporate structure and financing, to your supply chain and procurement. It covers how your business manages its employees and internal affairs, to your investments and innovations. It ends with what your business produces and sells, to your customer relations and social impact. No matter where you are in your ESG journey, Mills & Reeve can help you.

Our ESG expertise to help your business

From a legal perspective, non-compliance with ESG is a business risk. However, a proactive and positive approach to ESG pays dividends as well as assuring an organisation’s longer-term success. But what does ESG cover? How do you know what ESG means for your business and how to comply with it?

Our ESG experts can help you identify and manage your ESG risk effectively. We offer a full range of support from corporate governance and ESG reporting requirements, to integrating ESG considerations in your supply chain to sustainable finance options, and from energy efficient real estate assets to net-zero construction, and bio-diversity net gain to rewilding programmes. We can help you embed ESG solutions into your organisational culture and practices and work with you to ensure ESG is integrated in all your business dealings.

We can provide specialist advice, tools and resources to help you navigate and make smart ESG decisions for your business and achieve your goals.
