The concerns of the global business community on the environmental, social and governance issues is raising eminent questions on the need for regulatory and structural changes in markets, by making the Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) issues very topmost on the priority list of boards and management. Developing competencies to respond to the need for comprehensive ESG management, implementing net zero strategies, identifying risks and obligations has thus become a must do for companies.

Our ESG practice is designed to support clients through two major service areas; the ESG and Sustainability Advisory Services (ESG-SAS) and the ESG Awareness and Training Services (ESG-ATS).

ESG & Sustainability Advisories Services (ESG-SAS)

In our ESG and sustainability advisory services, we partner with clients to understand and we advise them on the global regulatory and compliant issues involved in the three components of ESG and we guide them both on issues relating to ESG investing, measurement and reporting standards. In forging our ESG practice journey, Edward & William Law Firm, have come to know that meaningful outcomes create measured impacts and so we lead our clients to explore and make the necessary shifts they need to make today to guarantee their continued stay in business in the future.

• We work with clients ESG committees to establish clear and effective governance systems for ESG, set goals and establish accountability.

ESG Awareness and Training Services (ESG-ATS)

We believe that when we engage in a lifelong learning, we gain important assets in supporting career aspirations for both personal and organizational wellbeing.  So, we provide routine ESG trainings to share our insights and information which we know you, your companies, organisations and even government agencies will find useful and thought provoking in the subject area of ESG and Sustainability. Through the outcomes of our in-house researches and ideas we put together various training and awareness events to support our clients. Our ESG-ATS will;

• Help employees make or break the success of any ESG strategy, as they interface with stakeholders, thus a training on ESG provides a critical understanding of relevant environmental, social, and governance issues that affect the client’s businesses. This understanding enables employees to contribute to their respective ESG activities and build buy-in for the overall success of their projects or organisation.
• ESG-ATS is an opportunity to imbibe company’s commitment to ESG in all the employees of the company. It brings ESG out from just a written word known to only a small group of staff, into a process that is deeply embedded in the organisation’s culture.
• ESG-ATS, has been a great boost to employee’s understanding on how to participate in implementing ESG for their companies, scaling the impact of the core ESG team, while boosting engagement and satisfaction.
• We provide in-house training for ESG committees to increase their understanding of all three aspects, environmental, social and governance, and to promote robust standards of corporate governance.
