FGV Rio Law carries out an annual self-assessment according to the five axes indicated by MEC Administrative Rule No. 1,382 of October 31, 2017, which allows for a broad view of the quality of the services provided:

• Institutional Assessment and Planning;
• Institutional Development;
• Academic Policies;
• Management Policies;
• Infrastructure.

In addition, the CPA of FGV Rio Law considers a few fundamental conditions, such as:

• Participation of the institution's members: to guarantee diversity in the assessment process and the building of the knowledge obtained through the analyses;
• Explicit commitment of the directors: the support of the directors needs to be evident to provide the necessary seriousness and depth to the process;
• Valid and reliable information: use of reliable information and its availability by the institution's agents and departments;
• Effective use of the results: to plan sanitation actions and overcome the difficulties detected, aiming at the institutional evolution and establishing of short, medium, and long-term goals.

The Institutional Assessment indicators of FGV Rio Law support this process to achieve the short, medium, and long goals.

Established in October 2018 at FGV Law Rio, the Diversity and Inclusion Program (PD&I) is an initiative aimed at strengthening debates and institutional actions with the goal of promoting diversity both within and beyond the FGV community. The program aligns with the efforts of globally recognized universities and business groups to implement programs that enhance diversity within the institution and in society at large.

With this goal in mind, the Diversity & Inclusion Program organizes targeted actions for both its internal audience - students, faculty, and staff - and external to the institution, including lectures and open events, courses, and workshops focused on combating discrimination; this seeks to actively transform FGV Law Rio into a space that promotes diversity and inclusion, combating prejudice and intolerance.
