# How legal turns sustainability risk into value

PwC Legal Business Solutions (May 11, 2024) "How legal turns sustainability risk into value" synthesises insights from international roundtables held throughout 2024 in Hong Kong, Madrid, New York, London and Amsterdam. The piece argues legal and company-secretarial teams can shift from compliance gatekeepers to catalysts for innovation and value as they navigate regulatory convergence — including overlapping requirements under the EU's CSRD and CSDDD — alongside client demand and stakeholder scrutiny. Sustainability is positioned as a far-reaching imperative directly shaping operations and business models. GenAI adoption adds to the legal team's sustainability compliance burden and requires governance and risk frameworks covering responsible, ethical AI. Direct relevance for SEA mid-market General Counsels.
