"We are delighted to be ranked so highly in these categories which were extremely competitive this year," said Rae Lindsay, partner in L&DR and member of the ESG Risk team & ESG Board. "The recognition, based on peer and client feedback, reflects clients' willingness to engage us on their ESG & sustainability matters, an area of increasing strategic importance to their businesses. This is true across all sectors and regions. The rankings will support our outreach to clients in the ESG and sustainability areas, which engage new forms of opportunity and risk for clients who are under external scrutiny when dealing with evolving regulation and standards around sustainable business models, and their internal governance to manage climate change and social risks."
