Impact Boards EM are pleased to announce that global law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer will be collaborating with Impact Boards EM as a legal partner.
Freshfields’ global reach and vast legal expertise around corporate and climate governance, among many others, will be showcased in future Impact Boards EM’s events to the benefit of its growing Directors’ membership.
Freshfields advise clients on a range of corporate governance challenges, including environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosure requirements from investors and regulators. Freshfields are committed to building on strong and transparent corporate cultures as part of their responsible business agenda.
Freshfields partner Fedor Teselkin, said: “In a world of greater co-operation between regulators, rising risk around cybercrime and fraud, and growing pressure on corporate disclosure around governance and sustainability, reputational risk and impact on corporate boards have never been this high. We are delighted to support Impact Boards EM in their mission to enhance collaboration on the sustainability agenda in emerging markets”.
Helena Haykin, Co-Founder of Impact Boards EM, stated: “Governance factors such as board independence, diversity and climate change awareness are key for sustainable business and value creation in the long-term. We are delighted to welcome Freshfields to our ecosystem. There are so many synergies we can achieve together, whether by discussing our experiences on boards in Emerging Markets or building a community of engaged independent directors to progress corporate governance standards across different regions”.
