After one year since the start of the work of the Focus Group ESG, made up of professionals with different expertise to concretely incorporate the ESG mission and criteria into the firm's activities and to implement a code of conduct in accordance with the main Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, ADVANT Nctm is assessing the first results of its activities.
ADVANT Nctm’s ESG Focus Group is structured to assist banks, AMCs and companies (listed companies and SMEs) in all legal aspects associated with risks and opportunities related to ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and to support them in the adoption and implementation of their sustainability strategy, including in relation to the following issues:
“We are proud of the firm's achievements in this first year of work on ESG, bolstered by ADVANT's mission whose main points are reducing the impact of our activities on the environment, the transparency of our path and supporting Clients in their ESG journey of “doing good while doing well" – said Paolo Montironi, Senior partner at ADVANT Nctm – “The ESG Focus Group was inspired by the need to establish the fundamental principles to be applied within the firm and set a code of conduct and policies for the environment, diversity and inclusion as well as for sustainable procurement management. We developed a procedure for the timely assessment of our environmental impact with the calculation of our carbon footprint in order to reduce our emissions and achieve carbon neutrality over time.”
“We have endowed ourselves with an ESG risk management system by creating committees with ad hoc expertise and introducing a whistleblowing policy”, added ADVANT Board member Vittorio Noseda. “We also held an intensive internal training programme on ESG issues: the training of our professionals on such topics is crucial in order to be able to best assist our clients."
