ESG
ESG has evolved from a peripheral topic into a central pillar of business strategy. Regulatory requirements, investor pressure, and stakeholder expectations are transforming ESG from a voluntary initiative into a legal and commercial necessity. European legislation is establishing a complex framework of obligations, where non-compliance may result in sanctions, loss of financing, and reputational damage. Properly implemented ESG strategies, on the other hand, open access to sustainable financing, increase investor appeal, and create a competitive advantage.
Our approach
We view ESG as an opportunity for transformation and growth, not as a regulatory burden. We connect legal requirements with business opportunities and develop ESG strategies that create value for all stakeholders. We help our clients navigate the complex ESG regulatory landscape and implement solutions that are both legally robust and practically executable. Our approach combines legal expertise with an understanding of the technical aspects of sustainability and the ability to communicate effectively with both investors and regulators.
Key areas of expertise
We provide comprehensive advisory services for the implementation of CSRD and the preparation of sustainability reporting. We assist in classifying economic activities under the EU Taxonomy and evaluating compliance criteria. We design due diligence processes for supply chains in line with upcoming directives. We develop frameworks for green financing, including green bonds and sustainability-linked loans. We also establish ESG governance structures and internal compliance mechanisms.
Added value for your business
We help clients meet complex reporting obligations and build a credible ESG strategy that resonates with both investors and regulators. For medium-sized enterprises, we design gradual implementation plans that minimize costs while maintaining full regulatory compliance. We provide financial institutions with support in integrating ESG risks into investment processes and product structures. For industrial companies, we develop decarbonization strategies and transition plans acceptable to financing banks. For start-ups, we help embed ESG principles from the outset, increasing their attractiveness to investors focused on sustainable impact.
Practical challenges and risks
Ignoring ESG requirements results in the loss of access to financing and public procurement opportunities. Insufficient sustainability reporting may lead to regulatory sanctions and the obligation to restate financial statements. Greenwashing damages reputation and can trigger litigation or enforcement actions. Failure to demonstrate ESG compliance limits access to green incentives and preferential financing. Weak supply chain governance exposes companies to penalties for breaches of environmental or other regulatory standards.
Our solutions in practice
For industrial clients, we develop decarbonisation roadmaps combining technical measures with legal implementation and access to green financing. For retail chains, we design supply chain due diligence processes that meet both regulatory requirements and consumer expectations. We assist developers with green building certification and obtaining preferential financing for sustainable projects. For energy companies, we prepare transformation plans that are acceptable to investors and aligned with climate objectives. For financial institutions, we design ESG risk management frameworks and product structures for sustainable investments.
