Sustainability and ESG

Sustainability has found its place in business strategy as core to organizational resilience and therefore needs to be embedded throughout all areas in an organization. The holistic nature of sustainability similarly raises interconnected legal, regulatory and commercial questions that cut across multiple practices, disciplines and jurisdictions.

We leverage strong cross-border collaboration and expertise to work together across practices and borders to advise on a wide range of sustainability matters, from adapting to regulatory change and the energy transition to managing supply chains, governance and ESG disputes. Our integrated legal advice supports organizations as they manage risk, respond to emerging opportunities and work to meet their sustainability ambitions and commitments.

Why Baker McKenzie?


We are first movers	We are agile thinkers	We live by our values
We set up the world’s first climate change practice more than 20 years ago and haven’t stopped innovating since. Because we collaborate with institutions like the WEF, UNGC and WBCSD to shape future debate and policy, we have insight on the direction of travel of sustainability regulation and best practice.	Our expertise on transactions, advisory and contentious matters across all major markets and industries gives us a perspective on sustainability that matches your needs. We frequently address big picture questions on strategy as well as specific legal risks through a global and local lens.	We are on our own sustainability journey and that means that we share your experiences and challenges and can meet you where you are. Sustainability is an integral part of our strategy, including our commitment to inclusion & diversity, environmental performance, SDG alignment, and more.
