ESG and compliance

Business operators are having to deal with increasingly stringent statutory requirements relating to the environment, the climate, human rights, decent working conditions and sound corporate governance. The general public’s expectations of corporate conduct are increasing in line with these requirements.

To manage an increasingly demanding risk landscape, enterprises must understand the relevant legal frameworks and conduct risk assessments for projects and counterparties. By adopting a considered and risk-based approach to sustainability and compliance issues, enterprises can avoid violating the regulations and failing to meet new expectations.

Selmer’s sustainability team consists of corporate lawyers with specialist expertise in the legal aspects of sustainability and compliance. Our practice is internationally oriented, with access to extensive networks of international compliance specialists who adopt a practical and commercial approach to providing advisory services on sustainability issues.

Selmer was one of the first law firms in Norway to establish a dedicated compliance team, and has been a leader in this field for many years. We aim to help our clients navigate often unclear waters, by providing clear advice customised to the challenges their particular enterprise faces.
