Sustainability

Facio&Cañas has put it into practice since its foundation in 1942

Sustainability

Since its establishment in 1942, Facio&Cañas has led the way in implementing sustainable practices within the legal sector in Costa Rica. Our founding partners, dedicated to advancing the country´s social, educational, and political landscape, have instilled this commitment across generations.

We take pride in creating an environment where all employees feel safe, respected, and valued, promoting equal opportunities and inclusion. Since 2022, our Diversity and Inclusion Affairs Commission has implemented policies and programs to foster diversity and inclusion, supported by the signing of the San Jose Declaration. Additionally, we have designated our offices as discrimination- free zones.

Moreover, we are dedicated to delivering high-quality legal services and offering assistance to marginalized communities. We have signed the Pro Bono Declaration of the Americas by the Cyrus R. Vance Center and operate a volunteer and pro bono legal services program.

In terms of environmental initiatives, our firm has developed an environmental management program to reduce our environmental footprint and raise awareness among our staff about environmental issues and how to contribute both collectively and individually
