ESG Services

Impact Business Law wants to be a part of your ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) journey. We will work with you to develop your ESG roadmap and implement it. This is part coaching (you are the expert), part legal consulting (we advise), part legal services (we draft policies and other documents in specific areas), and part referrals (we point you to other resources).

It’s a journey, not a destination.
Be visionary but make it attainable.
Keep learning.

Ocean View

There are lots of consultants in the ESG space and many different approaches. Why is a legal lens so important in the ESG journey?

  • ESG efforts may start with purpose and mission, but the success of your organization’s ESG
    initiatives comes down to policies and procedures that are implemented. A legal mindset will
    help you to create a framework for what must take place in your company and legal writing will
    help you create policies and procedures that are clear and easy to follow.

  • Following through on ESG policies and procedures often comes down to governance. A legal
    approach helps delineate the roles of boards of directors, executive, and front-line supervisors.

  • If you are serious about your ESG initiatives, the rules need to be enforced. Legal processes are
    needed to set up complaint and investigative processes in areas such as respective workplace
    and supply chain management.
