Amidst the fast-evolving regulatory landscape of environmental social governance, Pragma takes a practical approach to Environmental Social Governance through a simple, five step processes to creating or reviewing a sustainability framework tailored to your organisation.
From small businesses to ASX listed entities, we offer personalised advice suitable to each stage of an organisation’s ESG journey. Our ground up approach moves from a comprehensive review of existing governance frameworks, policies and procedures to the creation of a sustainability framework through the below 5 step process.
Our 5 step process to achieve a Sustainability Framework is simply as follows:
1
Review – the first step is to assess your current ESG position;
2
Identify – we can then identify your impact through understanding your organisation;
3
Advise – our written advice which includes a recommended Sustainability Framework to fit your organisation;
4
Implement – we draft relevant charters, policies and procedures and meet with board members, executives, management and stakeholders to implement a Sustainability Framework; and
5
Assess – finally, we create a due diligence process in which we can enable you to monitor the effectiveness of the Sustainability Framework.

"We used Pragma to draw up new staff contracts following the new WHS Act and found their service to be seamless. Quick response times and price transparently provided up front. They happily answered our follow up queries and understood our industry specific needs amazingly quickly. Will happily use again as our go-to legal support."
"Pragma have been wonderful advisors to the Rivet Group on a range of matters across disputes, M&A, compliance and insolvency. Our experience with Pragma is that they are readily available, have a great team in place who is easy to work with, and they always get the law right. On more than one occasion, we have requested urgent advice on short notice and Pragma has always been willing to deliver. A firm with a bright future, we intend to engage Pragma Lawyers in years to come."
I take my hat off to you both, what an outstanding job...for you guys to get a commitment...was just short of a miracle. Take a bow and a hearty pat on the back from me. We hope we don’t need your services too often but I would certainly not deal with any other legal firm but yours.
Aaron is an extremely hard working and dedicated professional. His commitment to client service is second to none, and he's a good bloke too. It's probably a bit cliché to say Pragma are pragmatic but really that’s a great way to describe it. The reason I do recommend Pragma is because I know when I send a client or an associate to Pragma that they're going to be happy with the outcome that they receive.
Partnering with Pragma Lawyers for both representation and advice was a pleasure. Aaron and his team not only exhibited professionalism but also demonstrated a keen commercial awareness that set them apart from most other firms. What truly impressed me was their ability to navigate complexities swiftly, consistently achieving fast resolutions without compromising quality. With Aaron, the Founding Director, personally handling all our matters, we experienced firsthand the dedication and expertise driving their success. I highly recommend you look no further than Pragma.
