The practice builds on EVERLEGAL’s existing experience in this area. The firm’s lawyers have completed more than 10 projects for over 10 corporate clients, worked with international reporting standards and provided legal support for projects involving more than €200 million in financing.

The team will provide legal support across seven main areas:

• • • • assessing ESG implementation and identifying risks;
      • developing sustainability strategies and programmes;
      • preparing reports under the ESRS and GRI standards;
      • supporting the implementation of ESG practices;
      • training company teams;
      • reviewing internal policies and documents;

The practice will also support companies in accessing international financing. EVERLEGAL will help businesses prepare for the requirements of leading international financial institutions, including the EBRD, IFC, World Bank, DFC, USAID and GIZ.

ESG legal support is particularly relevant to Ukrainian companies entering European Union markets, joining global supply chains, seeking investment or international financing, undergoing due diligence or preparing for new sustainability requirements.

A free ESG screening can be the first step. EVERLEGAL’s experts will assess the company’s current ESG position and propose an action plan.
