ECIJA México and IASE sign a strategic alliance on ESG
Next Friday, December 10, ECIJA Mexico and the International Association for Sustainable Economy (IASE) will sign an Agreement for the certification on the implementation of ESG (Environment, Social and Corporate Governance) consulting in the rendering of legal services.
With the foregoing, ECIJA Mexico, the law firm that introduced the ESG practice in Mexico two years ago, will become the first firm globally certified by IASE in the ESG field.
According to the lead Partner of this practice in ECIJA Mexico, Adalberto Méndez, “the signing of this Agreement is a two-way path, since it not only defines a new era in the professionalization of the ESG consulting but also provides incomparable support to our clients through IASE and its international recognition”.
“More and more companies are relying on ECIJA’s advice to implement ESG policies, preventing legal risks and ensuring compliance with national and international regulations and standards that the evolvement of the matter requires,” says Ricardo Chacón, Managing Partner of ECIJA Mexico. “Our firm is a pioneer in Mexico in the ESG practice and the signment of this Agreement, for sure, places us at the forefront among law firms worldwide, confirming ECIJA’s leadership and global recognition”.
IASE emerged in the United Kingdom aiming to create a system with international validity of certifications that ensures the practices and the transformation of professionals towards ESG criteria. IASE has two certifications: ISF® (International Sustainable Finance), addressed to participants in the financial sector, and ISB® (International Sustainable Business), focused on the rest of the business sectors, guaranteeing, in more than 35 countries and regions, that the knowledge and ESG achievements of professionals are standardized and contribute to the sustainable development of their organizations.
ECIJA is an international law firm with offices in 16 countries and a team of more than 800 professionals providing to its clients an outstanding experience in each of its practice areas.
The signature of the Agreement will take place virtually on December 10, at 10:00. Those interested can follow this event through ECIJA México’s social networks (https://www.facebook.com/ecijamx and https://twitter.com/ECIJA_MX).
