It goes by many names: Sustainability, ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) or corporate social responsibility. The common denominator is that these concepts describe corporate responsibility, a company’s societal impact, as well as dialogue with stakeholders. This ever-increasing focus on sustainability leads to increased expectations and demands toward businesses.

The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) reinforce awareness of the role of businesses and the expectations for them to positively impact sustainable growth, in order to offset the negative impact associated with their operations, production or services.

We see an increasing number of guidelines related to reporting on corporate governance and environmental and societal impact. Today, we expect private and listed companies to take environmental issues, human rights, labour rights and anti-corruption into account when establishing their long-term strategies.

Our advisers can help you navigate various sustainability guidelines and frameworks. Several of our experts have completed certified training courses in sustainability reporting, in line with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. We carry out reporting and communications concerning sustainability, and handle the dialogue with investors and analysts regarding ESG information.
