Ensuring Legal Compliance in Sustainability and ESG
Gaining Regulatory Clarity and Strategically Seizing Opportunities
Sustainability is no longer an option – it is a business-critical necessity. Even before the EU’s Green Deal, regulations such as the CSRD, ESG criteria, and due diligence requirements have been increasing corporate compliance demands. Clients, investors, and partners expect transparency and a clear ESG strategy. Growing regulatory requirements pose a challenge for companies to maintain oversight while also carrying significant legal implications. Which regulations apply, what requirements and legal consequences are associated with them? What does the “S” or “G” in non-financial sustainability reporting actually mean?
However, sustainability law not only imposes obligations but also offers opportunities:
For instance, an exemption in antitrust law allows competitors to collaborate for sustainability reasons, and sustainable compensation systems help companies to achieve their sustainability goals more effectively.
