Firm
Sustainability
We join efforts to work on Sustainability projects aimed at achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across the economic, social, and environmental dimensions in all the countries where we operate.
We are part of the Network for Central American Integration for Corporate Social Responsibility (INTEGRARSE), an alliance of organizations promoting sustainability in Central America and the Caribbean. This alliance aims to foster a permanent culture of corporate social responsibility in the regional business community and effectively contribute to sustainable development and regional integration.
This commitment is reflected in our members, clients, suppliers, and the community. It is a great satisfaction for us to establish partnerships that support causes and projects promoting the sustainability of our society.
Divertisy & Inclusion Committee
Our firm
Our commitment
Education is a fundamental pillar for the advancement of society. We are committed to education at all levels, which allows us to raise awareness and bring about true changes towards a more equitable society.
We are committed to the approval and publication of our inclusion and diversity policy.
We strive to work towards the Women's Empowerment Principles and provide updates on the WEP's Gender Gap Analysis Tool.
We will continue to make efforts to create a gender-inclusive firm.
At Consortium, we believe that an environment free from gaps attracts the best talent, drives innovation, brings differentiation to our clients, and helps us build a more equitable society. That is why we have partnered with organizations such as UN Women and AED to strengthen our policies and practices regarding equity and human rights.

Pro-Bono Committee
Our commitment to Pro Bono
Pro Bono work is an integral part of our firm’s sustainability policy. At Consortium Legal, we believe that our legal team has a responsibility to provide pro bono legal services. This responsibility arises from their role in society and their implicit commitment to promoting access to a fair and equitable legal system. It is also supported by our commitment to the Vance Center through the Pro Bono Declaration signed in 2008, which sets a goal of 20 pro bono hours per lawyer annually.
Recognitions
Consortium has been recognized for its work in the “Keep Families Together” initiative by the Vance Center. This initiative was a response to the family separation crisis resulting from the “zero tolerance” policy implemented by the United States Department of Justice.
