ESG Compliance

On the one hand, there is no standardised ESG legal framework. Instead, ESG-relevant regulations are scattered across a large number of legal instruments. Our mission is to help you gain and maintain an overview of the relevant provisions. On the other hand, ESG issues have only been partially integrated into risk analyses and risk management systems, resulting in weak incorporation within many companies. Companies have to strive to develop an overarching ESG strategy, take ESG aspects into account in all processes and guidelines and ensure they are firmly rooted in interactions with employees, business partners and customers. A strong ESG awareness is becoming increasingly important for market position, market perception, financing and relationships with business partners. ESG compliance is thus a business enabler. To this end, it is essential to counteract any violations of ESG provisions. The three lines of defence model should also be implemented in relation to ESG-relevant topics.
