𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗳 𝗔. 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝘃𝗷𝗶 𝗞𝗖, 𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗹 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗶 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀’ 𝗱𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀. Sharif A. Shivji KC, Karl Anderson and Hossein Sharafi have authored a ground breaking legal opinion on the interaction between director’s duties and nature related risks. Instructed by Pollination Law and Commonwealth Climate and Law Initiative (CCLI), the opinion, which is co-authored with Rebecca Stubbs KC of Maitland Chambers and James Burton of 39 Essex Chambers, concludes that directors should consider their company’s nature-related risks as part of their duties to promote the success of the company and act with reasonable care, skill and diligence. The opinion recommends that directors identify and consider the extent to which the company faces nature-related risks, ensuring these are appropriately assessed and evaluated. They should also take steps to manage and mitigate these risks (where appropriate), which may include designing and implementing a framework for systematic risk management. The opinion also emphasises that directors should consider the extent to which their company’s nature-related risks should be disclosed. At a minimum this should be in line with regulatory requirements, but in some circumstances directors may decide that compliance with their duties may be better achieved by giving voluntary disclosure where there is an emerging market standard or investor expectation to do so. Under some financial regulations certain companies already have legal duties to report on material nature-related risks and their impacts on nature. As a public facing document, the opinion is likely to become a go-to reference point for both directors and their legal representatives when considering this complex and fast-moving area of company law. The link to the opinion and the executive summary are available on CCLI's website here https://lnkd.in/ehW3JE6u.

Directors who are wondering why ESG matters are climbing the board agenda should read this legal opinion. It shows how environmental issues fall squarely within the existing statutory duties on the part of directors. The opinion itself comes in at a hefty 117 pages, but there is a handy 4 page overview for the time poor.
