Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)

About

Provided by Cescon, Barrieu, Flesch & Barreto Advogados

The current global environment requires that companies, financiers, and managers consider their responsibility and the impacts on society and the environment that derive from their actions. The need to prevent damages and improve risk management propel actions that are based on the preservation of the environment (E), social development, and impact on the community (S) and the best governance practices (G) – either by the allocation of equity investments or by governmental incentives. In addition to minimizing risk exposure, there is an appetite for businesses that measure their effects and a great desire to allocate capital to cause positive impacts.

Our ESG & Impact practice focuses on the five key topics related to sustainability and the pursuit of positive impacts: Sustainable Finance, Governance, Social Impact & Human Rights, Energy Transition, and Environment. 

To this end, we have organized an integrated group that combines professionals from Environmental, Banking, and Finance, Capital Markets, Corporate Law and Governance, Labor, Infrastructure, and Litigation practices. This approach ensures a team that offers a broad approach and the latest practices, trends, and legislative and regulatory proposals regarding ESG, to deliver comprehensive solutions to address our clients' day-to-day activities and their most complex projects.
