Corporate Gover­nance

ESG considerations impact companies’ decision-making processes.  Management and supervisory boards frequently focus on these topics. Depending of the organisation’s size and business, ESG topics are handled either by dedicated offices or by setting up an ESG committee. Sometimes, responsibility is assigned to a Chief Sustainability Officer or Chief Climate Officer.

Noerr advises its clients comprehensively on all aspects of setting up and monitoring the legal requirements concerning their organisational structures as well as on critical decisions to be taken by their boards, including in the context of ESG. Noerr has extensive experience in all areas of law that are relevant to ESG topics, and we continuously share expertise nationally and internationally on the legislative frameworks in the jurisdictions in Europe and beyond. This allows us to provide all-round, always up-to-date and efficient advice on companies’ corporate governance and on critical board decisions.
