ESG Advisory & Compliance
ESG has moved from a voluntary narrative to a set of disclosure obligations and legal claims that can be tested. A sustainability report that overstates progress, or a supply chain policy that exists on paper but is not followed, both create real legal exposure now, not just reputational risk.

Where we come in
Five mistakes we often see.
Each one turns an ESG commitment into legal exposure.
Sustainability claims that outpace actual practice
Public claims not backed by substantiated data or processes create genuine greenwashing risk, now attracting regulatory and investor scrutiny.
Supplier codes of conduct with no enforcement mechanism
A code of conduct that suppliers sign but are never actually assessed against provides little real protection.
BRSR data governance treated as a reporting afterthought
Reliable ESG reporting depends on data governance built throughout the year, not assembled hastily at reporting time.
ESG-linked financing targets set without legal review
Sustainability performance targets in financing agreements carry real financial consequences if missed, and should be reviewed as carefully as any other financial covenant.
No consistency check across disclosures
Different claims made in sustainability reports, marketing materials and regulatory filings can create inconsistencies that undermine credibility and create legal risk.

Questions
Common questions.
General information only, not legal advice. Every situation differs, so speak to us about yours.
Who is required to file BRSR reports?
This currently applies to certain listed companies based on market capitalisation thresholds, with the framework's scope having expanded over time.
We confirm whether and how it applies to your specific company.
What is greenwashing risk, legally speaking?
It refers to the legal and regulatory exposure that arises when environmental or sustainability claims are not adequately substantiated, potentially amounting to misleading disclosure.
We help you review claims against your actual practice and data.
Do we need to diligence our entire supply chain?
The appropriate scope depends on your specific risk profile, industry and stakeholder expectations, and is generally prioritised by risk rather than universally applied.
We help you build a risk-based diligence approach.
What should we check before agreeing to ESG-linked financing terms?
Whether the sustainability performance targets are realistic and within your control, and what the financial consequences are if they are missed.
We review these terms alongside your sustainability team before you commit.
Does the board need to be involved in ESG oversight?
Increasingly, yes, both as good governance practice and because board-level oversight is often expected as part of a credible ESG framework.
We advise on appropriate governance structures for your company's size and stage.
How much does this cost?
