Asia ESG / SDGs

It is not just a matter of social responsibility, but a crucial part of business strategy for companies to respond to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) for realising a sustainable society.
One Asia Lawyers has established the Asia ESG / SDGs Practice Group, led by lawyers with in-depth knowledge of legal systems and regulatory trends across Asia. This group provides comprehensive legal support in relation to ESG and SDGs.

Our services include the following.

• Advising on disclosure obligations and compliance frameworks related to ESG and SDGs
• Assisting with the implementation of human rights due diligence and the development of internal structures
• Reviewing contracts and formulating guidelines to ensure respect for human rights in responsible supply chains and beyond
• Monitoring and supporting multinational companies’ ESG initiatives across Asia
• Supporting participation in and implementation of international cooperation projects based on the SDGs

Regulations on ESG and SDGs are evolving rapidly across Asia. Failure to respond appropriately may expose companies to risks such as reputational damage or suspension of business transactions. Leveraging our network of offices throughout Asia, we provide practical and strategic legal services tailored to the specific needs of our clients.
