Climate change has become a key global issue, prompting organisations to respond to increased scrutiny from society, governments, and consumers. Organisations are now expected to consider the environmental impact of their operations, with legal claims arising from unmet green promises.

  • Environmental claims in advertising and defending regulatory investigations
  • Whistleblowing policies and employee claims regarding environmental practices
  • Environmental Impact Assessments and Sustainability Appraisals
  • Compliance training under the Green Claims Code
  • Advising on green credential claims, including shareholder and derivative claims
