Overview
The purpose of DFK’s ESG & Sustainability Special Interest Group is to help member firms develop and strengthen their sustainability advisory services. As reporting requirements evolve and clients increasingly look to their advisers for guidance on ESG matters, the Group supports members in building the knowledge and capability to respond.
Members share developments from their own jurisdictions, exchange practical experience of sustainability reporting frameworks and assurance requirements, and work together on resources that benefit the wider association. The Group also serves as a point of connection for firms seeking specialist ESG expertise or referral partners in other markets, and is open to members at any stage – from established sustainability practices to firms just beginning to build capability in this area.

Ragu Kannan
Sustainability has moved from a reporting obligation to a commercial and governance issue that our clients now expect us to advise on. The ESG Special Interest Group brings DFK member firms together to build that advisory capability, share practice across jurisdictions, and keep pace with fast-moving standards. Our aim is that any DFK firm, anywhere, can meet a client’s ESG question with confidence.
