ESG services
We provide strategic and technical environmental, social, and governance (ESG) solutions to manage risks, capture opportunities and future-proof businesses.
Guiding investments into the low-carbon and circular transition
We have extensive experience supporting clients on complex ESG-related issues.
Our expertise spans the full investment cycle from fund definition and establishment to due diligence, portfolio company operations and to exit.
The regulatory landscape is constantly evolving, and we update our guidance to keep track with requirements such as the new Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), EU Taxonomy, and the Task Force on Climate-related Disclosures, among others.
At fund and investor level, we guide our clients on strategic ESG impact investment and the impact of technological choices and commercial considerations, rooted in transparent methodologies to measure ESG impact.
Multidisciplinary expertise
We develop ESG impact strategies and drive sustainable change via a unique combination of environmental, climate, social sustainable finance, and regulatory expertise.
We draw on this expertise to guide our clients throughout pre-investment and transaction cycles. This includes developing ESG guidelines and criteria for investment managers, integrated ESG due diligence (buy and sell sides) and Taxonomy assessments of target assets and companies.
We also create integrated ESG strategies, action plans and reporting tools to create real financial value.

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has taken a significant step towards shaping the future of sustainable investment practices in the UK by publishing its finalised policy statement for the Sustainable Disclosure Requirements (SDR) and investment labels (hereafter collectively referenced as the “SDR" regime). In this article we explore the key components and role of the SDR, as well as practical steps to navigate the new regime.
ESG has had a bumpy ride over the last decade, but are ESG regulations now both raising the floor and simultaneously lowering the ceiling on ESG performance and commitments? And what factors will keep the two apart in the years to come?
