Fenwick & West advises clients regarding corporate social responsibility (CSR) governance and compliance with CSR-related legal requirements and standards. Fenwick can assist clients with developing an appropriate level of board oversight with respect to environmental and social risks, and with the design and implementation of tailored CSR policies and procedures that address such risks and that are responsive to stakeholder expectations (including those of investors and customers), industry practice, international standards and applicable law.

While many organizations have long been committed to CSR, evolving stakeholder expectations and an increasing number of CSR-related legal requirements and standards are prompting many companies to reexamine existing practices in light of such developments and assess the need for increased board oversight and/or additional CSR measures.

Technology and companies are in many cases uniquely impacted by these developments due to the acceleration of innovation and technology change and concomitant stresses placed on international technology supply chains.

Whether you already have CSR governance and compliance systems in place or are exploring the possibility of establishing additional oversight and compliance measures, our experienced team of professionals can advise you in your efforts to create a coherent and consistent enterprise-wide program that is responsive to stakeholder expectations and that fully addresses existing legal requirements and standards.
