Environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues affect all our clients. As part of our commitment to be at the forefront of society’s biggest issues, we are pleased to announce that we have partnered (through our long standing Knowledge Transfer Partnership) with the University of Nottingham to conduct research exploring how organisations manage their ESG impacts.
Research team and objectives
The research team includes lawyers Ben Standing, Jeremy Irving, and Alistair Taylor, who have specialisms in advising on ESG issues, along with Dr. Victoria Howard and communication expert Professor Louise Mullany from the University of Nottingham. Together, we aim to provide valuable insights into how organisations across both public and private sectors address ESG challenges, set priorities, and implement solutions.
As part of this research, we will invite clients and contacts with an interest in ESG and sustainability to participate in a brief survey. The findings will shape best practice guidelines for effective ESG communication, helping organisations achieve their goals and meet their obligations.
Who can participate?
The survey is open to anyone in the UK, Ireland, or internationally who works for or represents an organisation and has insights into its ESG practices, such as diversity and inclusion efforts or carbon reduction strategies.
The research is subject to the University of Nottingham’s research ethics requirements, ensuring that all responses remain anonymous. The survey will remain open until Friday 29 November 2024, and the results will be published in Spring 2025.
