Environmental, Social and Governance
(ASG or ESG)

For our firm it is especially important to be conscious of the effect of our actions in the world in which we live, not only the effect on the environment, but also in the social due to the lack of internal policies and effective governance bodies.

Although our firm is focused on the social aspects, particularly matters of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, it i not possible to advise on ASG without considering the other two aspects (environment and governance).

We guide our clients in the establishment of programs and policies to create inclusive spaces within the operation, to eliminate violence in the workplace and eradicate the gender gap, creating guidelines, guides, policies, talks and training in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. We guide and provide advice to our clients in the understanding and implementation of the NOM 035, including strategy to establish physical inclusive spaces.

We provide advice to our clients in matters of sustainability, guiding our clients so that each action they take brings them closer to the objectives of sustainability of the business.

The environmental and governance advice is provided by expert attorneys with who we have a business relationship, with which we have established non-exclusive alliances.
