Morri Rossetti and Message: new partnership for integrated ESG solutions

Morri Rossetti and Message, a consulting firm specializing in sustainability advisory and communication, announce a partnership to provide companies with integrated support in ESG and sustainability, with a multidisciplinary approach aimed at enhancing the synergy between innovation, compliance, and sustainable growth.

This is the first integrated solution that combines qualified legal & tax competencies with the expertise of consultants who have extensive experience in non-financial statements.

The collaboration stems from a shared vision: to support organizations in their transition toward sustainability and in integrating ESG factors into corporate management strategies – especially in light of the recent implementation of the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) and the CSDDD (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive).

In the coming years, these two European Union regulations will progressively require companies to report and disclose their environmental, social, and governance impact, as well as to implement measures to prevent, mitigate, or minimize effects on human rights and the environment, both within their own operations and across the value chains in which they operate.

Thanks to this partnership, companies can now rely on a team of professionals with cross-disciplinary expertise – able to effectively navigate future developments in this constantly evolving field – and ensure compliance within the deadlines set by regulations.

The integration of Morri Rossetti's legal and tax expertise with Message's ESG consulting services will enable the two players to support companies in developing sustainable corporate policies and achieving regulatory compliance, transparency, and long-term sustainable value creation.

Through this partnership, Morri Rossetti and Message will offer companies a suite of integrated services, including:

• Regulatory and compliance advisory in ESG: support to companies in interpreting and applying European and national regulations on sustainability, sustainable finance (SFDR, Taxonomy), and reporting.
• Integration of ESG factors into corporate strategy: assistance in the creation of sustainable business models and the development of responsible value chains, with a focus on drafting policies on topics such as environment, diversity and inclusion, human rights, health, and welfare.
• Reporting and communication: support throughout the entire process of producing the sustainability report, from gap analysis to action plans, stakeholder engagement to double materiality, data collection to report writing, as well as graphic design, layout, and communication of the report through digital channels.
• Corporate governance and due diligence: assistance to companies in adopting governance best practices and managing corporate operations focused on sustainability, including ESG due diligence processes aimed at identifying risks and opportunities throughout the entire value chain.
• Litigation and ESG risk management: legal assistance in disputes related to ESG issues and support in managing environmental, social, and governance risks, leveraging the combined expertise born from the partnership.
• ESG contractual advisory: support in accurately identifying the actors within the value chain (suppliers, producers, distributors, etc.) and mapping ESG responsibilities to help companies clearly define and allocate contractual obligations, expectations, and responsibilities regarding environmental, social, and governance issues.
• ESG certifications and qualifications: support in obtaining certifications such as B Corp and transitioning to a Benefit Corporation, as well as advisory services for aligning corporate governance processes with sustainable practices.

“This partnership represents an important step in addressing the growing needs of businesses in an increasingly sustainability-oriented regulatory and market context,” said Stefano Morri, founding partner of Morri Rossetti. “Together with Message, we are able to offer an integrated service that goes well beyond mere regulatory compliance: we support companies on their journey toward sustainability, providing multidisciplinary and tailored legal and tax advisory services to meet the unique needs of each client.”
