WHEREVER YOU NEED US, WE WILL HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE TO SUPPORT YOUR SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES

Nowadays, companies and individuals that want to start or support sustainability projects are facing two major challenges:

lack of support from local and state authorities; and
inefficient and ineffective legal framework and policies, e.g. lack of laws and regulations regarding protection of environment, absence of fiscal, economic and industrial policies in the field that would facilitate the implementation and operation of green initiatives.

Besides, businesses face problems attracting investments, corporate, tax and intellectual property issues.
