ABOUT THE AREA

Consolidated experience in high-complexity projects.

Over 30 years leading sensitive projects for national and multinational companies, with technical rigor and a strategic understanding of the client's context.

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is the set of environmental, social, and governance criteria and practices that must be considered in the analysis of risks, opportunities, and impacts—guiding activities, businesses, and investments toward sustainable development.

Adopting these practices enhances competitiveness, optimizes risk management, and provides greater resilience to market uncertainties and vulnerabilities, generating long-term positive impacts for the entire value chain.

ARCHIPEL offers an assessment of its clients' operations across the three ESG pillars, always with the technical depth that distinguishes a consultancy from a marketing agency.

Key services:
  • ESG Due Diligence
  • Materiality assessment
  • Sustainability / ESG Reports
  • Development and implementation of ESG strategies
  • Established or customized indicators
  • Technical support in investment and capital market decisions
