Corporate Sustainability and ESG

We assist our clients with advice in the rapidly growing area of sustainability often referred to as environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG). Our advice aims to help companies transition to more sustainable business operations in the following four main areas. 

Sustainability in Transactions and Financing 

We advise large and medium-sized Swedish and foreign companies, investors, and financial institutions in sustainable investments and financing. Advice covers green loans and bonds, impact investments and traditional transactions in which sustainability is a crucial component. We provide strategic advice, due diligence, and contracts based on the EU Taxonomy Regulation and SFDR Articles 6, 8 and 9 for investments and products. 

Sustainability and Regulatory Compliance 

We assist companies in meeting mandatory legal requirements regarding sustainability, including employment law, occupational health and safety, environmental permits and other environmental legal issues, anti-corruption, marketing law and data protection. Additionally, we provide advice on compliance matters with legal requirements associated with CSRD and other new EU sustainability standards. 

Sustainable Supply Chains 

We assist companies, governmental authorities, and other organisations with strategic and operational advice on creating sustainable supply chains. Our unparalleled expertise in creating successful partnerships helps to find the right contract and business models for various types of customer-supplier relationships. As a result, structures, contracts, and processes can be created to decrease carbon dioxide emissions and other negative environmental effects thus reducing the detrimental impacts on social sustainability and human rights. 

Transition to Corporate Sustainability 

We assist companies and other organisations with strategic and operational advice in the transition to sustainable business operations. EU legislators have established a framework of how corporate sustainability is to be achieved which may entail significant changes in business operations ranging from a company’s objectives, business model and strategy to that of incentive structures, management of supplier relationships, and reporting processes. The EU Taxonomy Regulation, CSRD, and other regulations set out the EU’s preferred sustainability model. We assist in systematically assessing how businesses conform to this ideal image, identifying disparities and proposing measures necessary for change.
