At Dentons, Sustainability and ESG are part of our strategy and essential to the success and strength of our people, our clients and our communities. We are committed to reducing the impacts of our activities and those of our suppliers on people, planet and the environment. Our approach to sustainability and ESG is underpinned by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and ensures that we are building and harmonizing the key elements of environmental sustainability, social responsibility and good governance across Dentons, as well as ensuring transparency and accountability.

In order to help clients navigate these changes and reshape their long-term plans and investments, Dentons has created a dedicated team, which forms a joint competence center, to provide clients with integrated and comprehensive commercially minded legal advice related to sustainability issues and their potential impact on business operations in Italy. Our methodology takes into account the circular economy and what it means for our clients’ specific sector and business model.
