In the constantly changing global landscape, adopting business models based on ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) principles represents a major opportunity, driven by increasing regulatory pressures, investor expectations and market demands. Companies that embed an ESG strategy not only meet these challenges, but can also distinguish themselves, attract capital and strengthen their competitiveness in the long term.

At LEXIA, we are pioneering this change.

Our ESG Advisory practice, composed of professionals with cross-disciplinary expertise, offers companies comprehensive and customised support to best manage the challenges and leverage the opportunities related to ESG factors.

 

Our services

  • Regulatory compliance

We guide our clients through the complex and ever-changing national and international regulatory framework for sustainability, ensuring proactive risk management and turning regulatory challenges into strategic opportunities for sustainable growth.

  • ESG strategies

We assist companies, from small to large, in identifying business targets that incorporate ESG principles, advising on the development of internal policies aligned with these objectives. We constantly monitor progress, ensuring the achievement of desired results and a lasting positive impact.

  • Tax advice and incentives

We advise our clients on identifying and accessing financial support measures, including incentives and tax relief, to facilitate and optimise investments in sustainable projects, maximising cost coverage opportunities and making the implementation of ESG initiatives more efficient.

  • Stakeholder engagement and reporting

We accompany our clients in the stakeholder engagement process, ensuring effective and targeted interaction. We also support ESG reporting, helping to improve corporate transparency and strengthen communication with investors, institutions and other stakeholders.

  • Training and awareness-raising

We design dedicated training programmes to raise awareness of ESG issues among employees and managers, promoting greater awareness and competence at all levels of the company, incentivising responsible behaviour and fostering the integration of sustainability issues into daily decision-making processes.
