This allows sanction prevention, process improvement and environmental management systems optimization. It also helps reflects a better image to consumers and assure funding and investment.
We are also expert environmental consultants in fundamental private transactions like Project Finance, M&A and real estate - especially when transferring polluted sites-. Our confirmation on environmental compliance has been paramount when closing these type of deals.
Indigenous Communities
The ILO’s 169 Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention ratified by Mexico and most LatAm countries demands strict and complicated requirements to consult indigenous communities about projects to be developed near their land.
Our experts can help you sail through these elaborate consultations processes while assuring the needs of the communities are met. This definitively ensures your project will reach safe harbor.
