Our Achievements in Sustainability
Working to promote diversity, equality, and inclusion in the Firm and society.
Driving pro bono initiatives with social impact through the Fernando Pombo Foundation.
Implementing one of the most demanding environmental management systems in the market (EMAS).
Our commitment to the rule of law the supremacy of the law, and human rights is a true reflection of the principles and values that have always been considered defining elements of our Firm’s culture, infused with the legacy and example set by our founders, Ignacio Gómez-Acebo and Fernando Pombo.
We are committed to integrating sustainability and ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria as pillars of our business strategy, providing a unique value to our clients while contributing to sustainable growth.
We also have various committees, policies, and measures aimed at directing and implementing our environmental, social, and corporate governance commitments both internally and externally. In 2023, we established the Firm’s Sustainability Committee (FSC) with the main mission of coordinating our Sustainability Policy and implementing the 29 Strategic Priorities approved for 2023-2024.
Our foundation, the Fernando Pombo Foundation, supports us in this endeavor. The foundation was created in 2010 with the mission of improving the lives of the most vulnerable through Law and promoting “responsible advocacy.”
The management of diversity policies and objectives is carried out from a global perspective, encompassing gender, functional, cultural, and generational disparities.
