"Environmental, social and governance". The term ESG, coined in 2004, is increasingly gaining prominence in organizational practices. This is because it refers to the environmental, social and governance actions and policies applied within intitutions, and that are valuable elements to achieve a fairer, more equal and sustainable society.
We at Peck Advogados, aware of the impact and the social and environmental responsibility involved in our activities, have a commitment to design strategies, maintain procedures and disseminate guidelines that are in accordance with the criteria involving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In addition to this, we support the 100% Transparency Movement , initiative of Brazil UN Global Pact that aims to promote corporate transparency in the country, in order to encourage and enable companies to go beyond their legal obligations, strengthening integrity
mechanisms in all spheres of operation, and our founding partner, Patricia Peck, is one of the members of the Advisory Committee.
Being innovative is also being responsible.
ESG Pillars
• Sustainability
- Procedural digitalization
Since our foundation, we have thought about relationships based on the digital format, from an idea of modernizing proceedings and evolving concepts that permeate business. Example: not encouraging paper printing when using the second screen for document review.
• Diversity and Inclusion
To reduce inequalities, we need to create opportunities. Therefore, our team is composed of professionals from diverse areas and backgrounds, in an environment where individualities matter. The firm currently has:
- Diversity and Inclusion Committee;<br><br> - To discuss equity actions and policies;
- Majority of women on the Executive Board;
- Teams with +65% female presence;
- 10 leaders: all women.
• Social Responsibility
The new digital reality and its several innovation possibilities bring great evolutionary leaps for business. But responsible planning is required for the advances to be sustainable and for the new models not to generate social burdens greater than the economic gains.
Knowing the importance of establishing more balanced relationships, Peck Advogados supports and promotes:
- iStart Institute: Team dedicates pro bono hours to contribute to the project focused on Ethics and Digital Citizenship.
- Solidary Peck: Periodic campaigns to donate blood, clothes, coats, food and other collaboration actions with the community.
- Healthcare and Welfare Program: Activities for interaction and leisure such as Peck Run and Peck eSports Cup, as well as vaccination campaigns, lectures and benefits in appointments and treatments.
Academic and Professional Appreciation Centers
In our routine, which goes beyond the traditional practice of law, we need to be constantly updated in several disciplines to enable innovation and digital transformation of our clients. Thus, as one of the firm’s values, we periodically invest in internal training on ethics and technology, creating a more harmonious and sustainable social and
business environment through the:
Peck Digital Academy

Peck Innovation
Bimonthly, lectures related to Law, technology and innovation are held for the entire Dream Team, given by internal instructors and guests who are references in the market.
Privacy and Data Security
Data governance and management based on information protection require technical improvement, both to identify possible breaches or risks, and to point out the socio-economic impacts and methods to comply with the rules.
Our firm offers and practices legal solutions in the application of the Data Ethics model and in the implementation of the Data Protection and Privacy Program.
