One element of our sustainable finance consultancy services is supporting corporate enterprises and financial institutions in complying with the increasing number of regulatory requirements that are facilitating the transition to a more sustainable economy. Our consultancy portfolio in this field ranges from the development and structuring of sustainable financial products to compliance with disclosure and reporting requirements and the implementation of ESG criteria in investment strategies. We keep abreast of national and European developments in financial market regulation in order to prepare our clients for new regulatory requirements and changes at an early time.

- Sustainability in public procurement for energy utilities: We advise municipal utilities on the reconciliation of the legal principles governing the public contract awarding process with the special characteristics of municipal enterprises and sustainability goals. The integration of sustainability criteria in public tenders and in contractual arrangements opens up opportunities to uphold environmental and social standards and make a long-term positive impact. At the same time, factoring sustainability into the procurement process necessitates a thorough understanding of the legal framework and standards that apply throughout Europe. We combine our procurement law, environmental law and energy law expertise to advise municipal enterprises that are playing an active role in shaping the energy transition with their portfolio, for example by developing the solar power, hydrogen and district heating infrastructures.
