WELCOME!

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria are a set of standards for a business’ behavior used by socially conscious entrepreneurs, managers and investors to screen projects and corporate strategies. ESG considerations have elevated environmental, social and governance commitments as ideals to be promoted by businesses as they develop their business plans and policies. These three commitments are also prevalent and reflected in cross-border business, be it (i) through a desire to manage the use of shared water rights along the US/Mexico border given the on-going effects of climate change, (ii) efforts to promote better wages and living standards for employees, or (iii) by promoting transparency in the governance of companies.

Our conference is centered around ESG standards as they relate to traditional legal topics such as trade, finance, taxes, labor, environmental, diversity and inclusion as well as compliance. As investors, companies and entrepreneurs measure the sustainability and ethical impact of an investment in a business, sector of industry or country, these three key factors are brought to the forefront of business planning.

We look forward to an in-depth review and discussion regarding ESG as it relates to cross-border business between the U.S. and Mexico.  As in years past, it is critical for the legal community in each country to continue to pursue our shared goals of fairness, opportunity and the rule of law.
