Our ESG Services

Our team is composed of specialists in key areas such as environmental law, corporate governance, tax, antitrust, and finance. This multidisciplinary approach enables us to provide comprehensive and strategic solutions that respond to the most complex ESG challenges, adapting to the unique regulatory landscape of each industry and sector. We are committed to guiding our clients every step of the way in their sustainability journey, combining technical expertise with a strategic vision to drive a positive and lasting impact.
  • ESG Standards Adoption: We guide our clients in implementing sustainable strategies aligned with leading international frameworks such as IFRS Sustainability Standards (IFRS S1 and IFRS S2) issued by the ISSB, GRI, SASB, and CDP. We support the integration of these standards into business operations to ensure regulatory compliance.

‍

  • Specialized Diagnostic Studies: We assess issuers' maturity levels in adopting and implementing ESG standards, identifying key areas for improvement.

‍

  • Double Materiality Study: We analyze economic, social, and environmental impacts, as well as sustainability-related risks and opportunities. This ensures compliance with IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 and strengthens corporate governance frameworks.

‍

  • Sustainability Reports: We develop annual sustainability reports that meet regulatory requirements and combine the best international practices. These reports include mandatory external assurance to ensure transparency, accuracy, and compliance with IFRS Sustainability Standards.
  • ESG Governance and Compliance: We design and implement governance strategies and organizational control systems aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights to identify, mitigate, and manage risks in key areas such as environmental, labor, human rights, tax, and corporate crimes. Our approach builds a robust corporate governance structure that fosters responsible risk management.

Our experience includes handling environmental, social, and governance-related litigation, covering issues such as discrimination, collective rights, workplace harassment, and regulatory investigations before specialized courts and agencies.

This tool is essential for gathering critical business data and preparing reports that comply with regulatory requirements.
