Peace
We promote balance and social justice through the development of policies and programs aimed at reducing all forms of violence in society, fostering acceptance, respect, and tolerance
Upholding Standards of Social Justice
BLP is committed to providing its services in compliance with the highest ethical and legal standards of a just society. Aware of the international requirements in this matter, BLP has developed the following:
Implementation of the Regional Anti-corruption Policy:
BLP has developed an ethics code along with a regional ethics policy to sign a clear reinforcement of the standards and principles by which our conduct should be governed, both internally and externally.
Annual Training:
BLP prepares and trains its entire regional workforce on anti-corruption issues, under both applicable legislation and internal policy.
Annual Certifications:
Once a year, all of our administrative and legal staff sign a certification in which they commit to complying (and claim to have complied)with the applicable legislation in matters of corruption and internal politics. This procedure is most useful both for BLP internally, and for our clients who witness our commitment to provide services according to the highest ethical standards.
New Practice Area of Human Rights, Business & Development:
In January 2018, BLP established the practice area of Human Rights, Business & Development, having as a background principles Guiding Business and Human Rights of the UNHRC, as well as the Guide of the International Bar Association. This practice area presents clients with the opportunity to examine our processes, business policies, and management decisions from the perspective of the international protection of human rights.
Alliance with HIAS:
Our alliance with the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) consists of participating in a training series, analyzing its most basic elements, as well as the national and international legislation that protects refugees. From the knowledge acquired, BLP’s Global Mobility & Relocation department promotes free refuge procedures. Our objective is to help people who because of race, sex, religion, nationality, social group, or political opinion have had to flee their country of origin, are in a situation of vulnerability, and need the protection of the Costa Rican State.
