Companies across all sectors are confronting the urgent need to take action to reduce carbon emissions and to demonstrate progress against ambitious emission reduction and net-zero targets. This is creating significant demand for legal assistance concerning carbon reduction strategies, carbon markets and companies’ overall framework for addressing climate risk and related disclosures.
Covington’s multidisciplinary Carbon Management and Climate Mitigation practice is at the forefront advising clients on the development and execution of corporate decarbonization goals. Our role as a leading firm is rooted in our deep understanding of the legislative, policy, regulatory, and commercial issues implicated by the increasing drive towards a low-carbon economy. We help clients across a range of industries navigate the challenges posed by climate change, identify and leverage new opportunities, and mitigate the risks associated with the need to accelerate the pace of global emissions reductions.
As the energy transition unfolds, Covington’s Carbon Management and Climate Mitigation lawyers can help clients achieve their sustainability and emission reductions goals. Drawing on the combined strengths of the firm’s environmental and climate change, energy, public policy, corporate, transactional, and investigations and disputes practices, we advise companies on the development and delivery of their carbon management and mitigation strategy.
Our lawyers work with clients to design innovative strategies and advance favorable policies that give life to corporate net-zero commitments. We help companies to implement science-based emissions reduction targets, ambitious renewable energy generation and sourcing opportunities, robust and transparent public reporting, and enhanced opportunities for creative corporate investments, partnerships, and other transactions to reduce carbon footprints and scale sustainable investments.
We are keenly aware of the increased scrutiny from regulators, investors, consumers, and other stakeholders to establish and communicate their decarbonization objectives. In a complex regulatory environment, we help companies to accurately disclose sources of carbon emissions, implement strategies to reduce emissions, and find creative solutions to offset remaining emissions to mitigate climate change. We help companies to better understand where emission reduction opportunities reside within their supply chain and fully leverage carbon markets as part of their net-zero strategy.
