Sound familiar?
A lot done, little visible.
Your initiatives exist, each on its own, and when a customer or a bank asks, it's hard to present them as a strategy.
Your customers are already asking for data.
Questionnaires, supplier approvals and certifications keep arriving from your supply chain. From 2027, EU rules set which sustainability data your large customers can ask you for their reporting. We help you have it ready.
They ask for your carbon footprint, a questionnaire or EcoVadis.
And you don't know which data to provide or where to start.
Time and people are limited.
You need to move forward with what you have.
Regulation is moving and you want your company to be ready.
At your own pace, before it's required.
Your bank is starting to weigh this data.
More and more financing considers how you manage environmental, social and governance issues.

RSM, ESG Landscape Latam 2025 · 250+ companies in 18 countries
Your customers already ask for data, wherever you are.
If you sell to European companies
From 2027, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/1560 sets the maximum a company required to report can ask of suppliers with up to 1,000 employees. Knowing what can be asked of you protects you and prepares you.
If you sell in Latin America
Reporting standards are advancing country by country, and the demand reaches SMEs through their customers. The frameworks RAYA uses, such as GRI, the SDGs and the Global Compact, are international and sit alongside your local rules.

What is RAYA?
A way to understand your company's sustainability as a single system, with three aligned dimensions.
Environmental
The conscious relationship between your company and the planet.
Energy, emissions, water, waste and biodiversity.
Social
The relationships that sustain your business.
People, health and safety, human rights and community.
Governance
The core that brings direction, trust and structure.
Ethics, risk management, suppliers and responsible use of technology.
Draws on the SDGs, the UN Global Compact, the EU Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard (Regulation (EU) 2026/1560) and the GRI Standards.

10% of every enrolment goes to protecting 10 hectares of forest in a private reserve located within the Pacoche Coastal Marine Wildlife Refuge in Manabí, Ecuador. The reserve belongs to Envirogreen, a company devoted to caring for that land, in which Ana Cristina de la Torre is a partner.
