How do you approach managing legal aspects during periods of instability or crises, and how does your legal strategy align with the broader business strategy to ensure the organization’s resilience?

??

During periods of instability or crisis, I approach legal management by rapidly assessing risks, ensuring clear and legally sound communication, and protecting the organisation’s position without hindering its ability to operate. My strategy emphasises aligning legal responses with broader business objectives – safeguarding reputation, maintaining regulatory trust, and preserving key relationships – so that the organisation not only overcomes the immediate challenge but also emerges more resilient and better prepared for the future.

What measures has your company taken to embed sustainability practices into its core business operations, and how does the role of the general counsel contribute to driving and ensuring sustainable practices within the company???

Our company embeds sustainability into its core operations through responsible supply chain management, investment in cleaner technologies, and adherence to international ESG standards. As General Counsel, I ensure these commitments are actionable and enforceable by integrating sustainability requirements into contracts, advising leadership on governance and compliance, and supporting policies that make environmental, social, and ethical considerations central to business decisions.???

What role does the legal department play in promoting and ensuring corporate social responsibility in your organisation?

??

The legal department plays a central role in promoting corporate social responsibility by embedding CSR principles into the company’s policies, contracts and compliance frameworks. We ensure that initiatives in areas such as labour practices and environmental protection are not only aspirational but also enforceable and aligned with Bolivian and international regulations. In doing so, we help the organisation uphold its values, mitigate risks, and strengthen its reputation as a responsible corporate citizen.
