Even commitment and engagement are not enough if it is not possible to demonstrate, attest, or prove it. In short – and assuming once again the burden of reiteration – it is essential to structure the company to demonstrate its entry into this specific market universe. In other words, it is necessary to be a demonstrable option and achievement, which recovers the importance of legal advice, as well as other professional advisors, such as business administrators, engineers (production, environmental), logistics professionals, accountants, etc. Do not conclude from this that it is complex and expensive; but, yes, it needs to be done well (which, let's be honest, is a statement of the obvious, despite the general tendency to improvise, to do things the right way, to do it any way you want).
It will be better when sustainable entrepreneurship and citizen bulk sms south africa entrepreneurship are part of the DNA of society, preferably with roots in the primary regulatory platform (constitutive acts), and may be included in additional platforms (such as commitments and principles that guide the exercise of voting power by the controlling bloc), and should reach one or more secondary regulatory platforms. In this sense, there are cases of specific sections in the Code of Ethics and Conduct, ESG Committees and their internal regulations, the Sustainability Code, among other labels.
Obviously, more complex situations, such as committees, for larger organizations; but nothing prevents there from having simplified, yet real and effective systems, in micro and small businesses; even an MEI – individual microentrepreneur can have regulatory platforms, routines and work systems that attest to their commitment and ESG performance. We need to learn the importance of form, of the book, of the record, of the report, as an easy example. And the lawyer is – and should be – a pedagogical vector of this transformation.
This can be done in the constitutive act (primary normative platform)
