LEGAL ESG PRESENTS:
ESG: Navigating the Shift from
Default to Design
ESG WITHIN YOUR FIRM:
- Who Owns It?
- Who Leads It?
- Who Coordinates?
- Who Communicates?
- Who Measures / Manages your firm's progress?
These questions are top-of-mind for each of my law firm and accounting firm clients.
Most firms engage organically in a variety of ESG-related programs, practices and policies, but there is no one leading, managing or measuring these initiatives, resulting in the impression of “randomness” at best.
Given the increasing ESG expectations coming from all stakeholders – clients, prospects, recruits, employees, vendors, and communities, it is no longer sufficient to “hope” that your firm can somehow be comprehensive, consistent, and coherent when addressing these expectations and when responding to inquiries.
Hope is not a successful strategy. ESG must be led and managed by design, not by default.
Firms that take deliberate and decisive measures to make sure ESG is embedded and is properly led, coordinated, and communicated – internally and externally – will emerge as leaders.
