Our 5 step process to achieve a Sustainability Framework is simply as follows:

Review – the first step is to assess your current ESG position;
2
Identify – we can then identify your impact through understanding your organisation;
3
Advise – our written advice which includes a recommended Sustainability Framework to fit your organisation;
4
Implement – we draft relevant charters, policies and procedures and meet with board members, executives, management and stakeholders to implement a Sustainability Framework; and
5
Assess – finally, we create a due diligence process in which we can enable you to monitor the effectiveness of the Sustainability Framework.

I take my hat off to you both, what an outstanding job...for you guys to get a commitment...was just short of a miracle. Take a bow and a hearty pat on the back from me. We hope we don’t need your services too often but I would certainly not deal with any other legal firm but yours.
Right from the first phone call to Pragma Lawyers reception our experience was positive. I was able to talk to Lawyer Lauren Evans right then and she helped us quickly and efficiently. We wholeheartedly recommend her services.
