impactvise AG, an industry-leading ESG data analytics, sustainability consulting and educational training provider to the legal sector, has launched the industry’s first sustainability report card specifically for legal service providers (LSPs).

impactvise co-founder Adrian Peyer ("AP") recently sat down with LexTalk World to chat ESG's importance to today's legal market, and what impactvise sees as the biggest opportunities for law firms and in-house legal departments in the near future. A few highlights from the interview are transcribed below.

For law firms, in particular, big data is an increasingly important issue, both in terms of being the managers and caretakers of client-owned or produced-for-client data, as well as the internally-focused performance data related to an individual firm.

Thanks to the evolving expectations of customers, shareholders, employees, regulators, and society at large, environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) considerations are now part of today’s “business as usual.”

Globalization and capitalism must evolve if they are to continue delivering prosperity and progress. Indeed, in recent years the much-heralded stakeholder economy has gained significant momentum, accelerated by the climate crisis and the pandemic. Today, there is no longer any doubt: the collective challenges faced by humanity are so great that no single industry, country, technology or profession can address them alone. We are all interconnected.
