Sustainability and ESG
With our expertise, comprehensive approach and client centric focus, we are the trusted legal partner for fast-growing businesses seeking reliable sustainability and ESG legal services
ESG has become a critical framework for evaluating a company’s impact on the world beyond just its financial performance.

How Cripps can help with your ESG legal needs
Holistic approach:
We take a holistic approach to ESG legal services, recognising that ESG considerations cut across multiple areas of business and law. Whether you’re looking at how your business operates, the community it operates in, or the effect it has on the wider world, our team can help you seamlessly integrate the best approach into your overall business strategy and find solutions which align with your values and goals.
Risk mitigation and compliance:
Stakeholder activism and increased legislation means ESG principles go to the core value of your business. We assist you in identifying and mitigating ESG-related risks relevant to your business ensuring you comply with relevant ESG regulations and meet the expectations of stakeholders, investors, and where relevant, regulatory bodies. Through our proactive approach, we help minimise potential legal, reputational, and financial risks associated with ESG non-compliance.
Strategic advantage:
Businesses with genuine ESG credentials consistently outperform their competitors. Embedding strong ESG principles at the heart of your business gives you a competitive edge and enables you to maximise the value of your business. Our ESG legal services can help you to leverage these opportunities and define your long-term goals. By truly understanding your business operations and objectives, and collaborating with you, we provide practical and commercially viable ESG legal advice.
