From due diligence to sustainable investing, sustainable product design to the energy transition, regulation is setting stricter targets, increasing disclosure requirements, and in some areas, even enforcing market restrictions and product bans. Regulators in various jurisdictions including the US, the EU and the UK are stepping up their efforts to increase transparency of companies and their supply chains, as well as addressing investors’ demands for more complete, comparable and publicly verifiable sustainability-related information.

The EU may have taken the ESG regulatory lead globally, but other legislators are catching up. This poses considerable challenges for multinational clients who must navigate inconsistent and, sometimes conflicting, frameworks and standards. Our global team of legal and public affairs experts provides international clients with legal advice and in-depth understanding of the latest political and policy developments to ensure they stay current and compliant, as well as the opportunity to shape the formulation of future legislative files.
