Angus Evers, a partner at Shoosmiths who focuses on all aspects of environmental law, said:
“We launched ESG 360 following conversations with a number of clients who were struggling to get a good overview of their organisations’ ESG compliance performance. ESG 360, which we are offering without charge, enables organisations to spot and home in on any areas of particular concern, signalling aspects of ESG where they may be at risk of non-compliance or falling behind best practice, as well as ways in which they can sustain and build on compliance in other areas.”
