Responsible business conduct entails that companies view adherence to human rights throughout their business value chain as a key element of their governance
Not respecting human rights is not only a severe reputational risk. Adverse human rights impacts can also lead to extensive legal liability. It requires businesses to implement policies aimed at mitigating human rights compliance and litigation risks into their daily operations. The legal dimension can include supply chain issues, contractual obligations, regulatory requirements and reporting guidelines. In the context of an M&A transaction, an ESG due diligence can be an important means to assess risks and opportunities. Our multidisciplinary team oversees the full field of work and works with our clients not only to do things right, but also to do the right thing.
