For the third year in a row, VdA has once again secured 1st place for ESG responsibility in the legal sector, in the 'MERCO ESG Responsibility Ranking Portugal 2025'. VdA also remains the only law firm included in this list, which brings together the 100 organisations recognised as most responsible across ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) criteria.

More than a recognition, this distinction reinforces VdA’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, business ethics and creating value for society.
