ESG Advisory

Advice on environmental, social and governance obligations, sustainability reporting and responsible business practices.

Overview

Investors, lenders and regulators increasingly ask how businesses manage environmental, social and governance risks. We help clients understand what is required of them, what is expected, and how to report on it accurately.

We advise on sustainability disclosure, including the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria’s adoption of the ISSB standards (IFRS S1 and S2), the SEC’s guidance for listed companies and the exchanges’ sustainability guidelines. We review policies on governance, anti-corruption, labour practices, community relations and environmental compliance.

We also advise on ESG conditions in financing and investment documents, environmental and social due diligence in transactions, and the legal risk of sustainability claims that cannot be substantiated.

FAQs

For some entities, increasingly so. The Financial Reporting Council has adopted the ISSB standards with a phased roadmap, and listed companies are subject to the exchanges’ sustainability disclosure requirements. We can confirm what applies to your organisation.

Development finance institutions and many commercial lenders apply environmental and social standards to the projects they finance, and build them into loan conditions and covenants.

Misleading statements can lead to consumer protection, securities and contractual claims, as well as reputational harm. Claims should be specific and supported by evidence.
