Mishcon Purpose: ESG and Sustainability

Increasingly vulnerable to systemic risks, such as climate change, biodiversity loss and deepening inequality, businesses are also expected to do more to address rising social and environmental pressures. We use double materiality assessment to help clients more fully understand their ESG impacts, risks and opportunities, and deploy our Mishcon Purpose Framework as a systematic approach for integrating these insights across corporate purpose, strategy and governance.

Strategic litigation is a powerful tool for holding institutions to account, obtaining justice for affected communities, and driving systemic change. We focus on identifying, building and sourcing funding for claims across the core themes of climate, nature, human rights and governance.
