International Government Affairs

ASG goes beyond offering advice in government and regulatory affairs, offering a nuanced understanding of each country’s unique political context.

We translate government priorities into client opportunities, and we translate client goals into terms governments understand. Our solutions address the underlying factors that drive policy on the ground, and benefit both the client and the public interest.

We help clients make the best informed judgments and develop effective strategies, then we help implement the strategies and tactics.

In cases of unfair or improper government proceedings we can help determine the best course of action, pursue the most effective means of redress, and when appropriate create greater public transparency.

Creating Shared Value

In an increasingly interconnected world, companies do best when they simultaneously pursue economic value creation while also addressing societal needs.  An approach that goes beyond social responsibility, focused on creating shared value and securing the social license to operate, has become a competitive imperative for the 21st century enterprise.  This requires both creative evaluation of the total value chain and effective engagement and collaboration with government, industry, NGOs and other stakeholders.

ASG helps clients better understand opportunities and achieve positive impacts consistent with their core missions. We work with organizations to develop country-specific and global programs, industry initiatives and public-private partnerships that create true win-win solutions.
