🔍 The Evolving Role of Lawyers in ESG & Sustainability: A Toolkit to Boost Credibility & Client Success 🌱💼 📈 Staying informed is essential in the fast-evolving world of ESG and sustainability. 🚀 Access our complimentary Interactive ESG Toolkit to enhance your credibility and meet rising client demands. 🌟 Benchmark your performance against peers and better protect your clients' interests. 📊 Future-proof your legal practice today! ⚖️✨ 💡 Did you know? Roughly 50% of CEOs and their executive teams now have compensation tied to ESG goals 📊—up from 15% in 2022 (IBM, 2023). Despite 95% of companies having operational ESG goals, only 10% have made significant progress. 🛑📉 This gap shows that while ESG is seen as a strategic priority, many businesses lack the data, capacity, and expertise to fully implement it. 💼📚 ⚖️ Lawyers have an opportunity to close the ESG implementation gap and protect clients against growing risk. The best legal advisors are proactive business enablers, not just compliance specialists. Yet, a 2023 Lamp House Strategy review found that only 32% of clients believe their law firms are genuinely committed to ESG. 🤔💬 🚨 A growing gap exists between client expectations and the ESG and sustainability credibility of lawyers. 🌎 📜 As regulations tighten and reporting requirements increase, stakeholders demand greater corporate action to reduce environmental harm 🌍 and boost social impact. 📢 Legal advice must evolve, requiring a deeper understanding of ESG and sustainability to mitigate client risks and identify opportunities. 🛡️💡 📘 Access Stories Evolved's Interactive ESG Toolkit for step-by-step guidance to enhance ESG credibility and unlock business opportunities. 🌟📚 All results will be anonymised and shared with participants. ✅ #ESG #Sustainability #LegalPractice #ESGToolkit #CorporateResponsibility #ClientSuccess #BusinessOpportunities #ESGGoals #Lawyers #SustainableFuture #Leadership Abhay Srivastava Lois Duguid Julia Hayhoe Colleen Theron FIEMA (she/her) Paul Clements-Hunt Stina Warnstam Drolet Rebecca Annison Melissa Manzo Karyn Polak Alex Kruzel Alex Cooper Christina Koulias Steve Kenzie Silvia M.
