Governance, Environmental & Social

The Governance, Environmental & Social models are mechanisms that serve as a guide and control of the shareholders towards the company, to guarantee permanence in time, complying with high standards of corporate social responsibility and sustainability practices in its operating processes.

At Clever BoD we go beyond this definition, we consider the Governance, Environmental & Social models as one of the fundamental elements to build a better business environment.

We know how to add value to our clients through holistic governance.Holistic governance can be defined as the inclusion of internal structures, roles, and standards within corporations. Depending on the maturity level of governance practices within the company, we design a tailor-made model. This enhances the Board of Directors contribution to achieve sustainable corporate performance.

Companies with a purpose are distinguished by attributing their success in the market through corporate responsibility. This is achieved through sustainable investments that minimize the impact on the environment where operated and never through shortcuts that favor merely economic results. Profits are not incompatible with purpose.
