Michael Watson
Partner, Head of Climate and Sustainability Advisory
Climate and sustainability
We are an award-winning climate & sustainability advisory and consulting practice dedicated to supporting clients to access the opportunities and navigate the risks presented by the transition to a more sustainable world.
The climate and sustainability agenda is an inflection point in business and society which changes everything, forever. We have sought to transform our operations and legal and professional services to ensure that climate and sustainability is properly incorporated into our advice. We offer propositions to manage risk and discover opportunities including:
- Governance and reporting: implementing governance frameworks which are robust, aligned to ‘best practice’ and meet the requirements of domestic and international standards and disclosure requirements.
- ESG supply chains: implementing enhanced ESG requirements throughout supply chains and complying with emerging corporate sustainability regulations.
- Greenwashing: managing and mitigating the risks associated with making climate & sustainability related claims across the full spectrum of statements made by a business.
- Public policy & strategic communications: enabling clients to articulate and communicate their ambition on climate, sustainability & ESG. We also offer first-rate policy analysis, political intelligence, and horizon scanning.
- Training programmes: we design, build, and deliver climate, sustainability and ESG training programmes for legal teams, executive teams and across entire organisations.
