Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)

Souto Correa’s ESG practice handles a wide range of matters involving legal issues related to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria. To this end, we have assembled a team of experts with solid knowledge in environmental, labor, corporate, corporate governance, contracts, compliance, administrative and regulatory, tax, consumer law, data protection, intellectual property, and capital markets matters.

Our services include mapping ESG risks and non-compliance issues, guiding companies, investors, and financial institutions through the process of integrating ESG criteria into their internal policies, advising on the drafting of policies, implementing strategies, and managing risks to meet ESG standards. We also assist in identifying, analyzing, classifying, treating, and monitoring risks, as well as creating control mechanisms and response actions to prevent negative impacts on companies.

With a comprehensive scope of work, our practice also includes drafting contractual provisions based on ESG criteria and conducting due diligence focused on social, environmental, and governance aspects, whether for risk assessment in asset acquisitions or for structuring legal relationships related to the contracting of services and acquisition of products, considering the production chain as a whole.
