Basham, Ringe y Correa, listened to and understood the growing need for environmental, social and governance considerations and recently launched its ESG practice group in Mexico.
In the design of its clients’ business models, corporate reorganizations and operations, and in the decision-making process to gain the resiliency and competitive advantage, it´s essential that those processes include the correct implementation of sustainability strategies. This is reflected in the growing tendency among investors and consumers, in general, to consider whether a company has ESG-oriented governance when making their investment or branding decisions. That is, assess whether the company or brand is being respectful of the environment, and how it treats its employees and vulnerable communities. In other words, not taking into account ESG factors can generate non-financial liabilities, affecting the value of a company, as well as its position in the market and failing to meet the expectations of investors and customers. Bearing in mind the above, the consequences of whether or not to have a proper understanding and application of these principles can be a determining factor for the success or failure of a company.
This movement has led to the need for companies to understand how to carry out an effective implementation and application of the ESG factors in their business model and strategies, including legal, regulatory, and best-practice areas.
