Embedding ESG tax and legal with purpose and precision
As Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations become a board-level priority, many tax and legal functions are increasingly expected to lead on transparency, compliance and value creation — implementing sustainable initiatives that can turn ESG into action.
From mandatory disclosures and green incentives to environmental taxes and supply chain due diligence, the global imperative to change corporate behavior is an opportunity to turn adversity into advantage; to help organizations fulfil their purpose, achieve sustainable goals and position future growth.
For today’s tax and legal leaders, ESG transformation starts with transparency. Robust tax policies and sound tax governance are crucial steps in showcasing responsible tax practices.
