But this mindset shift is just the start – there is work to be done to align financial capital, organisational capabilities and corporate strategy with these opportunities. Our survey and expert insights reveal key actions that will help them get there.

How we can help

How Simmons & Simmons can help your organisation capitalise on the opportunities in sustainability.

We recognise that our clients have the ambition to capture the growing opportunities in sustainability while mitigating related risks. We help clients achieve this delicate balance by advising across five key aspects that we believe involve legal touchpoints: transactional, regulatory, governance, risk management and reputational management.

Through strategic advice, we enable and empower clients to chart a bold and successful course to achieve their sustainability ambitions. This includes, structuring sustainable investment products, advising on the implementation of strategic acquisitions and investments, advising on regulatory compliance, enhancing governance structures and managing reputational risks.

Our sustainability credentials can be seen through our commitment to innovation, for example, through raising awareness of opportunities from the emerging blue economy, or by creating tools to efficiently track the ever-evolving ESG regulation landscape.

We are more than a legal advisor – we are thought leaders in sustainability. Our experts actively engage with industry stakeholders, participate in shaping ESG policies and collaborate with clients to drive positive change. By sharing insights, best practices and the latest research, we empower our clients to be at the forefront of sustainability, ensuring their initiatives resonate with investors, regulators and society at large.
