The introduction of mandatory ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting is set to have significant implications for engineering businesses. Keith Davidson, Environment Partner at law firm Irwin Mitchell discusses how the upcoming ESG developments, starting in 2024, will fundamentally change the business landscape for engineering companies. Recent and expected ESG developments Although the term ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) has been commonly used since 2004, it has not been a priority issue for most SMEs. ESG is used as a measure of socially responsible investing and for the last two decades ESG has primarily concerned international financial market participants such as investment funds, banks, insurers, pension funds and listed companies. Significant changes are on the horizon. The business landscape is set to undergo a transformation in the coming years due to three key developments: • The introduction of the first-ever internationally comparable accounting standards for accounting periods beginning in January 2024, so companies worldwide will be judged according to their ESG performance. • Mandatory ESG reporting has been introduced for large companies in the EU from 2024, and the rules will gradually extend to non-EU enterprises that do business in the EU. • Increased legal obligations to manage supply chain ESG performance, specifically addressing Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from upstream and downstream value chains. New global standards for sustainability and climate-related disclosures On 26 June 2023, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) launched two international disclosure standards that become effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024: IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures. IFRS S2 requires the reporting of Scope 3 GHG emissions. It is up to each country to endorse IFRS standards. The UK is currently consulting on the creation of UK Sustainability Disclosure Standards (SDS), which will address this matter. A decision is expected by July 2024. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero launched a call for evidence in December 2023 to help inform the government's decision on whether to endorse the ISSB's standards in the UK. Increased mandatory ESG reporting Since 2015, the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) required reporting of certain non-financial and diversity information by very large public-interest entities in the EU with more than 500 employees. The CSRD entered into force on 5th of January 2023 and extends mandatory ESG reporting for a much broader group of companies. This includes non-EU companies that do business in the EU. The CSRD is being implemented in phases. • The first phase started in January 2024 and is applicable to listed companies in the EU with over 500 employees already subject to NFRD, with reports due in 2025. • The second phase will start on 1 January 2025 and will be applicable to EU companies with at least two of the three following criteria (a) more than 250 employees, (b) a net turnover of more than 40 million Euros and/or (c) a balance sheet of more than 20 million Euros, with ESG reports due in 2026 on 2025 data. • Third country undertakings (including UK companies) with net turnover above 150 million Euros in the EU and who have an office or subsidiary in the EU must report in 2019 based on 2018 ESG data. CSRD organisations need to report according to new European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) which includes Scope 3 value chain emissions. Corporate Sustainability Directive On 14th of December 2023, a consensus was reached between the EU Council and Parliament on the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), which requires companies to identify and prevent actual and potential adverse human rights and environmental impacts. The new due diligence duty extends to large companies' own operations and their subsidiaries and supply chains. The CSDDD will apply to EU enterprises with over 500 employees and a global annual turnover exceeding 150 million Euros and non-EU enterprises and parent companies with over 150 million Euros generated in the EU. There are lower thresholds (250 employees and 40 million Euros) for ‘high impact sectors' – textiles, clothing, footwear, food manufacture, agriculture, construction and mineral extraction. Failure to prevent or end adverse impacts can result in contractual relationships with suppliers being terminated. National supervisory/regulatory bodies will have the authority to impose penalties on companies not complying with due diligence processes with potential fines up to 5% of the company's global turnover. There is also the risk of civil liabilities where NGOs and trade unions will have five years to bring a claim. Although an agreement of the draft text has been reached, there is not yet an agreed date for the application of CSDDD and the final text could still be changed. It is forecasted that CSDDD will enter into force during 2024 and will start to apply to large companies around 2027. Requirement for doing business CSRD requires the management of Scope 3 value chain GHG emissions and CSDDD will introduce a new due diligence duty to minimise adverse environmental and human rights impact throughout a company's international supply chain. Larger companies subject to ESG and carbon reporting will request evidence of climate action and ESG performance from its value chain. Failure to produce ESG policies and strategies could result in SMEs losing key customers and missing out on new business opportunities. It's no longer a ‘nice to have', ESG will become a requirement for doing business. Access to finance ESG performance is expected to have a substantial impact on access to finance in the future. Compliance with ESG standards will increasingly be requested and monitored by lenders, investors, competitors, civil society organisations and employees. Management systems To get prepared for CSRD and CSDDD, companies will need to ensure that there are proper governance procedures and processes in place to measure and manage ESG issues. A management system approach will ensure continual improvement. Engineering companies are well placed for this approach as many have already implemented ISO: 14001 and ISO: 45001. Due diligence in transactions There will be increased demand in M&A transactions for ESG desktop searches and audits as part of technical due diligence and the need for ESG and climate clauses in legal documentation. ESG real estate strategy A large part of a company's impact on the environment and the enjoyment of its workforce relates to the quality of its real estate assets. There will be an increased demand for ‘grade A' accredited space and ‘Net Zero' buildings and every stage of the property's lifecycle from design, acquisition, occupation and disposal will need to consider sustainability issues. There will be a greater use of green leases and the focus needs to shift from data sharing to collaboration between landlords and tenants in terms of planning and costing of works. Companies will be judged on ESG pledges CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) policies were often seen as a polish for corporate reputation. Now that ESG metrics and disclosure standard have been agreed in ESRS and IFRS and ESG performance can be compared between companies, ESG reports will be subject to greater scrutiny and ESG commitments must be put into action.

Getting legal advice is not usually your first priority after a traumatic brain injury but, as Elizabeth and Julia discover, making that call could help hugely with a person's recovery - and an initial call costs nothing. In this episode, Elizabeth and Julia look at the importance of getting specialist legal advice and the difference it can make to people's lives. Joining them to dispel some of the myths and give the facts are Richard Biggs and Adam Shelverton from Irwin Mitchell Solicitors in Manchester. Some of the questions discussed include: what costs are included in a compensation claim? How does 'no win no fee' work? How long do you have to make a claim and what length of time will it take to get a settlement? This episode sees them cut through some of the legal jargon and bring a human face to a process which can be overwhelming. It also explains why getting a financial settlement isn't just about the money.

Anna speaks to Knight Frank rural surveyor Steph Small and Irwin Mitchell partner Sam Knight to find out more about the nutrient mitigation market, which the government just announced fresh funding for.Natural England has established its own nutrient mitigation scheme; however, this is currently only available to developers in the Tees catchment in the North East of England and there is a limited number of credits available.For those developers unable to access this scheme, the only other option is the embryonic private market or relying on their own mitigation methods from wetlands to sustainable urban drainage.The government is aiming to both expand the Natural England programme and speed up the development of private sector schemes.Steph and Sam explain why mitigation options are not straightforward and highlight that the greatest shift will be when water companies upgrade wastewater treatment works to reduce harmful nutrient pollution.But this is still some way off, with the government proposing the upgrades are completed by 2030.

That's according to new research from law firm Irwin Mitchell, which found 6 in 10 are currently financially supporting adult children, with more than a third saying they would not be able to make ends meet without this support. Joining me in this episode is Christine Thornley, Head of the Tax, Trusts and Estate team in the firm's Manchester office. I chat with Christine about why so many adult children are still financially dependent on their parents, the impact of this financial burden on our own plans, and the importance of seeking expert advice before giving money to adult children. Here's my conversation with Christine Thornley from Irwin Mitchell in episode 588 of Informed Choice Radio.
This is an old skool, Adam Buxton-style ramble chat 50 Shades episode in which Sam Stafford fills his lunch hour with what he enjoys most: talking about planning with some of his planning friends. Planning being the fast-paced, ever-changing, rock and roll world that it is there was a lot to take in. Sam's conversation with Simon Ricketts, Claire Petricca-Riding and Vicky Payne covers a busy week that included the Autumn Statement; amendments to the Levelling Up & Regeneration Bill; what Michael Gove had to say in a keynote speech; COP27 and the Supreme Court's Hillside Parks decision.

It will not have gone unnoticed that the Government published a 'Growth Plan' on Friday 23 September 2022 with implications for the Development Consent Order regime and the introduction of a new Investment Zone concept. Additional information about Investment Zones was published the following day (links below). Friend of the podcast Simon Ricketts hastily convened one of his 'Planning Law, Unplanned' Clubhouse sessions for the Tuesday evening to which Sam Stafford, along with Iain Thomson, Shelly Rouse, Nicola Gooch and Jonathan Easton, were invited to contribute. This episode then is slightly different from previous ones in that they all kindly agreed to record that conversation so that some of it could be used and shared by Sam for 50 Shades. You will hear then in the next forty five minutes or so some thoughts from that group on what is known and not known about the Growth Plan and what the implications for planning may or may not be.

Regular 50 Shades Listeners will know that Sam Stafford recently had dinner with a DLUHC Minister. The conversation during dessert turned, with a set piece Planning Bill off of the agenda, to the three most impactful things that Michael Gove could do to improve the planning system. Sam subsequently shared his thoughts on Twitter (see link below) and they provoked a bit of a discussion, which he thought worthy of exploring further in a 50 Shades episode. This then is what prompted Episode 65's 'Call for Evidence' in which Sam invited 50 Listeners to share their own suggestions for practical, pragmatic changes that, with little fuss and fanfare, could have a positive, meaningful impact on the planning system. Sam discusses the submissions, let's perhaps call them the '50 Shades Manifesto For Sensible Planning Reform', in this episode with Claire Petricca-Riding, Jonathan Easton and Paul Smith.

How does wellbeing in women's sport compare with the men's? What additional support do they require? Can, or should, governing bodies, clubs and athletes be doing more? Issues around wellbeing have made many front – and back – page headlines over the last year. Possibly the biggest case being the withdrawal of American record-breaking gold-medal gymnast Simone Biles from two finals at the Olympics, citing mental health issues as the reason. Host Naomi Findlay is joined by Irwin Mitchell colleague, medical negligence expert and Crystal Palace goalkeeper Chloe Morgan, and Dave Ward, Leanne Infante and Abbie Ward of top-flight rugby team Bristol Bears Women. Together, they get to the bottom of this important issue.
A new report, published by General Counsel magazine and law firm Irwin Mitchell, points out that despite the rapid growth in focus on ESG, there is still uncertainty around which business function should lead on it. The mantra that it should be led from the top is an easy one to declare, but how responsibility breaks down and which team does what remains blurred in most organisations.

The entire world has been changed by the Coronavirus pandemic and as communicators, we've seen boards come forward and ask for interventions and advice in ways that have never happened before. Whilst there's been a lot of work undertaken both by the Chartered Institute Public Relations and by other professional bodies to ensure that communications is seen as a strategic management discipline; now more than ever, we have an opportunity to ensure that the professionalism of communications is understood as a vital part of the success for all organisations, large, small, independently owned, nationally operated, government, private, public, and everything in between. In this episode, host Sarah Pinch and guests Alex Aiken, Executive Director for Government Communications and James Powell, Head of Group Communications at Irwin Mitchell explore what it means to be a strategic communicator, to be a professional, and how communicators are elevating and repositioning themselves.

2021 promises much change for post-Brexit Environmental law and significant impact for planners. In this podcast, a panel of Philip Robson, Constanze Bell and Martin Carter discuss with Claire Petricca-Riding (Head of Planning and Environmental at Irwin Mitchell) what the year(s) ahead hold for environmental law.A day is a long time in planning and politics! When the podcast was recorded on 25 January the Environment Bill was due to be at report stage in the House of Commons the next day. Rumours and leaks swirl that the Bill may now be delayed due to political concerns.
Is it right that old times be forgotten, asks Robert Burns in the opening line of Auld Lang Syne. Instinctively one might want to say yes to that insofar as 2020 is concerned. Much has been lost, but it's also right to say that much has been gained too. We are at home more, a trend that might have happened at a much slower pace if at all in some places, and we are perhaps working more patiently and emphatically with each other, which is a trend that probably would not have happened at all. It has made us appreciate more the old times before 2020. The simple joy of just being with people, which we have learnt not to take for granted again. We can also take heart from the simple fact that, having faced down the challenges that this year has presented, we can be a little less fearful of whatever else is around the corner. You will have spotted, all being well, the ‘Part 2' in the title of this episode and so have already listened to Part 1, but if not, and it is by no means mandatory to have done so, this is the second of two episodes that feature reflections on an extraordinary year from past contributors to the 50 Shades of Planning Podcast.

Having food on the table and a roof over our heads is a basic human right, yet in 2020 when the world has become almost unrecognisable at times, many people are struggling for these simple necessities. We invited Patsy Davies, Assistant Project Manager at Manchester Foodbank, Ben Richardson, Charity Director at Caring in Bristol and Ian Wilkins, Fundraising and Relationships Manager at Crawley Open House to join us for a special edition of our Irwin Mitchell podcast.
Sometimes the right thing to do with a family owned business is to sell it. If that liquidity event provides sufficient wealth and financial independence for the owners of that business, they may want to look at ways of passing that wealth on to future generations in a tax efficient way that also allows them to retain control over those assets. One vehicle for doing this is a Family Investment Company. In this episode of the show I discuss these businesses with Helen Clarke from Law firm Irwin Mitchell. We look at what circumstances these can be suitable and the process to go through to set one up. We look at how a FIC can help retain control of assets, educate the next generation and become a generational planning tool.
