Among other areas of activity, Baikal Communications Group pays special attention to ESG consulting, as well as legislative work. For several years, the Lake Baikal Foundation and the Research Centre for Legal Expertise, established by the company, have been successfully developing. They help strengthen the company’s expert positions in these areas. 

This interaction was reflected in the corporate structure of the company: Anastasia Tsvetkova, CEO of the Foundation (Director of International Communications and CSR Practice of Baikal Communications Group) and Anastasia Parfenchikova, CEO of RCLE (Director of the Legislation Practice and Legal Research of Baikal Communications Group) became partners of the firm. They will continue to develop their areas of work in the company, integrating the experience of the Foundation and RCLE to solve the most difficult tasks in the field of sustainable development and lawmaking.

In addition, due to the substantial increase in project-based GR and lobbying work in Russia and within the EAEU, Valeriy Afanasyev was appointed Director of the GR and Regulatory Risk Assessment Practice. Over several years of cooperation with the company, Valeriy has established himself as a successful practitioner in the development of GR strategies and the design of lobbying campaigns, in monitoring regulatory and legislative changes across various sectors of the economy, and in providing high-quality assessments of political, economic, and regulatory risks, which has ensured well-founded decision-making for the business development of the company’s clients. Valeriy will also be responsible for the communication component of projects — liaising with government authorities, business associations, development institutions, and clients.
