ESG issues have taken the corporate world by storm ever since the UN adopted the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015. The newest generation of investors is pressing for sustainable growth, and it is obvious that ESG is not merely a fashionable trend but instead a permanent issue to be addressed by lawmakers – particularly as the effects of the climate crisis become undeniable and social injustices are brought to light in an unstable economy.</p> <ul class="include-chevron"> <li class="p"><a href="https://www.ibanet.org/document?id=LARF-ESG-survey-results-report">View report</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="row"> <h3 class="h3">Inclusion, Non-Discrimination & Pro Bono - The Latin American In-House Legal Counsel’s Perspective</h3> <p>This study seeks to provide a general overview of whether or not the legal departments of Latin American companies and companies from other jurisdictions working in the region consider these issues as relevant, and whether or not these companies are promoting and requiring their outside counsel to have non-discrimination and Pro Bono policies in place. It also seeks to determine whether outside counsel in Latin America will have to implement policies relating to these matters in the short, medium or long term, not only because of their own convictions, but as a prerequisite to be hired or retained by their clients.</p> <ul class="include-chevron"> <li class="p"><a href="https://ibanet.org/document?id=Inclusion-Non-Discrimination-Pro-Bono-YLC-Report-2021">View guide</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="row"> <h3 class="h3">Young Council del Latin American Regional Forum</h3> <p>The Latin American Regional Forum presents a study on Law Firm perception on diversity, inclusion, pro bono and non-discrimination in Latin America (March 2020).
