ESG: General

As the world shifts its focus toward sustainable living and increased social responsibility, corporate entities – driven by boards, employees and investors – are beginning to prioritize ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) factors in their decision-making. All stakeholders, including you and your clients are considering how to create long-term value while remaining socially responsible and fiscally resilient.

At McInnes Cooper, we believe in taking a proactive approach to meet your ESG goals, so that as trends become law, your company is set to succeed.

We use an integrated approach to help you stay at the forefront of these changes and ensure your business’s resiliency by setting and meeting ESG goals. We are advising and assisting clients under each pillar of the ESG factors, including:

Environmental: Environmental concerns are at an all-time high. It has become critical for companies to take meaningful steps to evaluate environmental footprints and implement sustainable practices. Our lawyers are helping clients navigate the business opportunities and risks resulting from environmental regulations, legislation, policies and standards. Read More

Social: How a company’s operations, culture and philanthropic commitments affect employees, customers, suppliers and the community as a whole form the “social” component of ESG. We advise clients on a range of related issues, from labour disputes, to immigration matters, through to crisis management. Read More

Governance: Our firm has long-advised clients on corporate governance issues. We offer trusted advice on risk management, due diligence, shareholder disputes, governance reporting and more. Read More

Our Commitment

Building on our long-standing commitment to corporate social responsibility and sustainability, we are adopting an increased focus on ESG values through:

  • Our commitment to DEI;
  • Actions to improve our environmental stewardship;
  • Commitment to community and justice via our Pro Bono Program; and
  • Shared responsibility through an active Collective Social Responsibility Program.
