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.
