Introduction
The ESG agenda—centered on Environment, Social, and Governance—is redefining corporate purpose and long-term viability. As ESG evolves from a market-based trend into a global regulatory framework, companies must now address mandatory ESG disclosures, supply chain due diligence, and climate-related legal obligations.
ESG is no longer confined to large corporations. SMEs(including those not subject to disclosure requirements), mid-cap firms, and public institutions are now equally accountable, facing growing demands from consumers and civic groups for authentic ESG management.
DLG’s ESG Sustainability Center delivers specialized legal services in human rights, carbon markets, RE100, and sound governance based on extensive experience. It monitors ESG disclosures, supply chain regulations, stakeholder engagement, and international policy trends to offer targeted guidance.
We support SMEs and mid-sized companies, and exporters in embedding ESG practices suited to their scale and industry. The center brings together legal experts in corporate law, human rights, environmental law, and fair trade, along with specialists in compliance, communications, sustainability reporting, and social value measurement.
