Leading RENE Emissions Reporting & ESG Compliance Consulting in Mexico

Driving Mexico’s Sustainability & Carbon Market Transformation

Mexico has established comprehensive environmental reporting through the National Emissions Registry (RENE), carbon pricing mechanisms, and stock exchange sustainability requirements. The country’s General Law on Climate Change and emerging Emissions Trading System position Mexican companies at the forefront of Latin American climate action and ESG integration.

As a leading ESG and sustainability consultant in Mexico, Clenergize Consultants provides comprehensive advisory services helping Mexican companies meet RENE emissions reporting requirements, prepare for ETS compliance, and navigate BMV/BIVA sustainability disclosure expectations. Our expertise spans ESG strategy, carbon accounting, climate risk assessment, environmental compliance, and sustainability reporting—ensuring Mexican businesses excel in Latin America’s second-largest economy.

Why ESG Compliance is Business-Critical in Mexico

Mexico's General Law on Climate Change, National Climate Change Strategy, and Carbon Tax Law demonstrate the nation's climate commitment. Several regulatory mandates underscore this transformation:

  • Mandatory GHG Emissions Reporting – National Emissions Registry (RENE / INECC) – Mexico's General Law on Climate Change requires companies meeting emissions thresholds to report annual GHG emissions to RENE, operated by INECC. Approximately 400-600 large emitters in oil & gas, power generation, manufacturing, mining, cement, steel, chemicals, automotive, and transport must comply with annual Scope 1 GHG emissions reporting, activity-level data, MRV compliance, RENE platform submission, and verification readiness.
  • Carbon Pricing & Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS – SEMARNAT Carbon Market Pilot) – Mexico operates a national carbon tax and pilot Emissions Trading System led by SEMARNAT, with binding phases expected after 2025. Approximately 300-500 companies in power generation, cement, steel, mining, refining, chemicals, and manufacturing must comply with GHG emissions monitoring and reporting, carbon tax payment obligations, allowance tracking and ETS readiness, carbon reduction and offset strategies, and compliance reports to SEMARNAT.
  • Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) – LGEEPA – Under LGEEPA (General Law of Ecological Balance & Environmental Protection), major industrial and infrastructure projects must undergo Environmental Impact Assessment (Manifestación de Impacto Ambiental – MIA) before receiving federal or state environmental authorization. Approximately 250-350 companies in energy, mining, chemicals, infrastructure, tourism, water projects, industrial parks, manufacturing, and transportation must comply with environmental impact studies (MIA), biodiversity/air/water/soil impacts, social/community impact assessments, mitigation & environmental management plans, and state/federal permitting.
  • Sustainability Disclosure Requirements – Mexican Stock Exchanges (BMV & BIVA) – BMV and BIVA require listed companies to publish sustainability/ESG reports following BMV ESG Guide, aligned with GRI, SASB, TCFD, and emerging ISSB standards (apply-or-explain; de facto mandatory for large caps). Approximately 140-180 large listed companies must comply with ESG governance, materiality assessment, Scope 1 & 2 emissions (Scope 3 encouraged), climate and environmental KPIs, social & labor indicators, supply chain ESG, and annual sustainability reporting.
  • CNBV – ESG & Climate Risk Guidelines for Financial Institutions – The National Banking and Securities Commission requires financial institutions to integrate ESG and climate risk into governance, risk management, credit allocation, product disclosures, and anti-greenwashing rules. Approximately 120-160 major banks, insurers, Afores (pension funds), and investment funds must comply with climate risk assessment & stress testing, ESG integration in lending and investment, climate/ESG product disclosures, portfolio-level sustainability reporting, and governance of climate-related risks.

Given these developments, Mexican companies that fail to adapt risk RENE penalties, carbon tax obligations, ETS compliance costs, regulatory project delays, and restricted access to sustainable finance and international markets.
