• Risk and Opportunity oversight and integrating these issues into
  business process

We are focused on integrating material economic, environmental and social issues (including around inclusion, climate change, supply chain, and AI governance) into the firm’s existing global risk profile, which is managed by embedding our ERM approach across our international firm.
All our partners are regulated by the SRA, either as solicitors qualified in England and Wales or as Registered Foreign Lawyers, which supports a unity of purpose on these issues from a regulatory perspective.

Our focus areas include:

• Using specialist approaches and platforms, such as the Climate Disclosure Project regarding environment and climate, to assist us with developing a structured risk and opportunity-based approach.
• Integrating developing sustainability and ESG regulatory trends, industry and best practice standards into continuing development of our ERM approach.

• Reporting

As part of our focus on alignment with international and industry standards, the integrated firm completed its EcoVadis assessment in January 2024, which analyses our performance and impact across: i) Environment; ii) Labour and Human Rights; iii) Ethics and iv) Sustainable Procurement.

Looking forward, we intend to use our next assessment cycle to focus, with our People / Human Resources and Risk and Compliance teams, on furthering our firm-wide systems and policy approaches towards Labour and Human Rights

and Ethics.
