Sustainability at DLA Piper 

Sustainability has become increasingly important for your business – and to your shareholders, employees, regulators, customers, suppliers, and communities.

Companies are not only staying apprised of the quickly changing ESG and sustainability regulatory landscape, but, increasingly, are focused on sustainability efforts that go beyond regulatory requirements.

As the sustainable, low-carbon economy accelerates, companies are choosing to adopt practices that allow them to better anticipate risks, respond to disruptions, and seize emerging opportunities. This integrated perspective, requiring cross-functional collaboration and long-term thinking, not only strengthens the company's ability to adapt but also builds the foundation for sustainable growth, innovation and stakeholder trust.

Using integrated, global processes and knowledge, DLA Piper can support you at all stages of your sustainability journey. We help companies navigate evolving disclosure and reporting requirements, mitigate and manage sustainability-linked litigation, and incorporate climate and resource considerations within the lifecycle of a project.

Your DLA Piper team will help you achieve your business goals.

Our teams operate globally and are recognised as best in class, allowing us to work on the most challenging mandates requiring exceptional technical and market knowledge. We know that approaches to sustainability are evolving at different speeds in every jurisdiction; our global presence means that we can give you advice aligned with local, national and global stakeholder expectations.

If you are just beginning your sustainability journey, we can help you develop roadmaps and ensure compliance with relevant reporting and disclosure regulations. For businesses with more complex needs, we can help you implement policies, ensure that transactional, supply chain, and human rights due diligence is conducted, and help you manage developments in emerging areas like biodiversity.
