Sustainability regulation

Interpretation and implementation of regulatory requirements 

We provide advice on interpreting sustainability-related regulatory requirements and their practical implementation. We help identify which obligations apply to your company’s operations and guide you on how to implement them efficiently in a manner that supports your business. 

We have assisted companies in preparing for significant regulatory changes across sectors, including those introduced by the EUDR, CSDDD, and CSRD. 

Due diligence processes 

We build and develop with you the processes needed to meet corporate sustainability due diligence obligations, for example across supply and procurement chains. We assist with risk identification, assessment, and management, as well as setting up reporting. 

Human rights impact assessments 

We assist in identifying and assessing human rights impacts related to the company’s business and supply chains.

Extended producer responsibility 

We advise on extended producer responsibility matters, which is especially important for the manufacturing industry. 

ESG Due Diligence   

We perform due diligence reviews that incorporate ESG perspectives in the context of corporate reorganisations and transactions. We map sustainability-related risks and opportunities and support their integration in decision-making. 

Sustainability in commercial contracts 

We assist with embedding sustainability-related terms and requirements into commercial agreements. We ensure contracts support your sustainability goals and comply with current regulatory requirements. 

Sustainability in public procurement 

We advise on the integration of sustainability criteria into public procurement. We assist both procuring entities and bidders in meeting sustainability requirements and in successfully carrying out tender processes. 

Environmental claims and greenwashing 

Making green claims without a legal basis significantly increases sanction and reputational risks. We review your marketing communications from the perspective of EU rules and guidelines on green marketing. We advise how to avoid greenwashing allegations and build credible, transparent communications. 

Sustainable finance 

We work closely with our financial regulation experts to integrate sustainability into your business and ensure compliance with all related regulatory requirements, such as the SFDR and the Taxonomy Regulation. 

Regulatory monitoring and training  

We keep you up to date on regulatory developments and analyse the impacts of changes.  

We have trained numerous companies on the growing body of sustainability regulation in general, and specifically on sustainability reporting, the EU Taxonomy, the CSDDD, the EU Deforestation Regulation, human rights impact assessments, and due diligence processes.
