We help you on your ESG journey

The ESG journey

All organisations, whether small or large, will sooner or later be confronted with environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters. Due to the enormous amount of EU and local ESG legislation, litigation and public scrunity, organisations are increasingly seeking for ways to manage their ESG footprint, which can be a major challenge. Embedding new legislation will have a profound impact on the business model and strategy of an organisation, its sustainability targets and the progress it is making to achieve these targets, its internal policies and due diligence processes throughout the value chain and on the disclosures it is making.

To adequately reduce risks associated with these various ESG aspects Due Diligence and ESG Contract Management are essential elements as organisations are continually impacted by business contracts with its shareholders, financiers, vendors, suppliers, outsourcing providers, service providers and customers. Negotiating, tracking, managing and monitoring ESG criteria in your contracts is therefore a vital instrument in reducing and controlling ESG risks. It helps you:

> to comply with regulatory requirements
> to create value to your organisation
> to mitigate litigation risks
> to mitigate reputation loss and fines
> to mitigate financial loss
