Many clients are very focussed on how they position themselves from an environmental, social and governance (ESG) perspective. This is also being driven by investors who are demanding the companies they invest have sound ESG policies. Not only do law firms need to be advising their clients on these issues but they need to have clear sustainability policies for themselves. Clients are expecting and demanding this increasingly.
This session will address how law firms approach the practicalities of developing sustainability policies for their firms and, more importantly, living to those policies.
