Burges Salmon is proud to provide expert legal support on environmental, social and governance (ESG) and Net Zero issues, helping your business improve sustainability, reduce carbon emissions, and meet regulatory requirements.
We understand that ESG influences every facet of an organisation, from operations and investments to risk management and corporate responsibility. Stakeholders – including clients, regulators, and investors – judge businesses on their ESG performance, and our team ensures you meet these expectations while driving meaningful value.
We provide both strategic and operational support, helping organisations navigate the complexities of ESG. Our tools (such as the ESG Risk Review, ESG Pensions Tool, ESG Corporate Disclosure Tool, and Modern Slavery Statement Compliance Check) simplify ESG priorities and align them with sustainability ambitions. We are proud to have achieved the EcoVadis Bronze Sustainability Standard, placing us in the top 35% globally.
Net Zero is an essential part of this strategy. With the UK’s commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2050, our multi-sector teams deliver tailored legal solutions across key areas including transport, energy, land & food, and the built environment. Our goal is to help businesses meet their decarbonisation strategies while realising the opportunities that emerge from this global transition, including sustainable finance and carbon emissions reduction.
This year we launched a thought-leadership series on the “Six Pillars of ESG” that outlines a framework for six key areas where organisations may need legal support, distilling broad issues into actionable steps.
