ESG factors
Integrating ESG factors into one’s business or professional activity requires careful assessment and strategic advice on what environmental and social sustainability objectives to pursue (UN SDG goals) and, above all, how to communicate them with the proper legal wording. This is in order to avoid unfair practices of “greenwashing”. The Firm, thanks to twenty years of experience in the field of environmental law, is able to accompany corporations or SME in the process of transformation towards sustainability.
