With the collaboration of our Public Policy, Environmental, and Energy practices, we are ideally positioned to identify opportunities presented by climate change and to help clients navigate the global web of evolving issues they face, including clean energy and efficient infrastructure requirements.

 

We help clients drive towards carbon neutrality, including through investments and policy advocacy relating to carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCS), low-carbon transportation fuels and sustainable aviation fuel, green and blue hydrogen, zero-carbon power generation, offshore wind, electric vehicles (EVs), batteries, and energy storage, nature-based climate solutions, and carbon markets. Our climate change and sustainability work includes public policy, regulatory, litigation, and transactional matters.

 

We advise clients across a wide range of industries regarding their mandatory and voluntary ESG and sustainability disclosures, including setting, tracking, and validating progress on greenhouse gas emissions, including science-based targets, human capital management, energy efficiency, water use, other sustainability goals, and disclosure controls and procedures.

 

We also advise clients as they engage with investors on these matters, including preparing for investment stewardship meetings, shaping ESG ratings reports, and managing shareholder proposals. We offer both depth and strength in assisting clients with ESG issues in SEC and sustainability reports, including with respect to disclosure controls and assurance. We regularly engage with the SEC staff on behalf of our clients on interpretive questions, no-action letters, consultations regarding discrete disclosure or transactional issues, and similar matters.
