Sayenko Kharenko’s team has successfully implemented a project to enhance corporate governance for the Public Union “World Wide Fund for Nature Ukraine” (WWF-Ukraine) by improving the organisation’s flexibility and effectiveness in implementing environmental initiatives.

As part of the project, bespoke solutions were developed and implemented regarding key corporate governance matters. These measures promoted transparency, long-term sustainability, and operational efficiency in WWF-Ukraine’s management, whilst ensuring compliance with best practices and corporate governance standards.

The collaboration highlights Sayenko Kharenko’s expertise in corporate law, corporate governance, and regulatory matters, particularly taking into account the specific features of non-governmental organisations.

Bohdan Vykhor, Executive Director of WWF-Ukraine, on the collaboration with Sayenko Kharenko: “Thanks to Sayenko Kharenko’s assistance, we are now able to attract international grants for the conservation and post-war restoration of Ukraine’s natural environment much more quickly and effectively.”

By providing this expertise on a pro bono basis, Sayenko Kharenko makes an important contribution to the post-war restoration of Ukraine’s natural environment and continues to support international organisations as their trusted legal advisor in Ukraine.

The project was carried out by a Sayenko Kharenko team consisting of senior associate Olha Kyriusha, associate Alina Kylymenchuk and junior associate Vladyslav Novitskyi. Partner Oleksandr Nikolaichyk provided overall project supervision.
