At Argentina Energy Week 2025, the spotlight was not only on new projects and policy announcements but also on the enabling services that ensure those projects move from paper to reality. Among them, Estudio Giolito played a central role.

Founded more than four decades ago, the Buenos Aires-based firm has established itself as a reference in customs, logistics, and regulatory compliance for the energy and infrastructure sectors. With deep knowledge of Argentina’s complex customs framework and international certifications such as ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 37001, Estudio Giolito has built a reputation for combining efficiency with transparency.

The Net-Zero Circle by IN-VR spoke with Lorena Giovanelli, Director of Estudio Giolito, to understand how the firm streamlines customs processes, the importance of adopting global compliance standards, and the role it plays in bridging public and private stakeholders to accelerate energy infrastructure in Argentina.

Q1: Energy projects often face complex logistical and customs challenges. How does Estudio Giolito manage to simplify and accelerate these processes without compromising regulatory compliance?

A1: At Estudio Giolito, we understand that the key lies in supporting companies from the planning stage. When we participate in an energy project, we get involved from the very beginning in designing the logistics and customs strategy for imports, bringing in our experience with different customs offices across the country. This comprehensive vision allows us to anticipate obstacles, coordinate with precision, and align our technical expertise with the specific needs of project leaders. In this way, we ensure that goods are cleared, transported, and released in line with each stage’s requirements, always in full compliance with regulations and without slowing execution.

Q2: Beyond technical expertise, you hold certifications such as ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 37001. How do these standards translate into concrete benefits for your clients and into the transparency of your operations?

A2: Many years ago, we decided to integrate international standards as part of our work culture. We were the first firm in the sector to implement ISO 37001 and the third company in the entire country to do so, a challenge that reinforced our commitment to transparency and best practices.

For our clients, these certifications mean safer and more reliable processes: every customs operation follows clear protocols, with thorough reviews and checks at each stage. From researching the goods to be imported, verifying documentation, and ensuring correct tariff classification, to tracking every shipment in detail, everything is executed with a level of traceability and rigor that minimizes risks and contingencies.

Ultimately, working under international standards assures our clients that their operations are carried out with professionalism, transparency, and full compliance with the customs code, generating both confidence and efficiency.

Q3: How does Estudio Giolito collaborate with public and private stakeholders to facilitate the development of energy infrastructure within tight deadlines?

A3: Our work begins by supporting private stakeholders, providing them with all the information and advice needed for their operations to succeed. We put our technical knowledge and professionalism at their disposal to ensure that goods arrive on time and in line with project planning.

At the same time, we act as a bridge with public authorities: when documentation is accurate, tariff classifications are correct, and the goods shipped match those arriving at their destination, the clearance process moves much more smoothly. In many cases, private stakeholders are not familiar with customs regulations, and this is where our role as mediator becomes essential to guarantee legal compliance and minimize contingencies.

In short, the joint effort between the client and Estudio Giolito makes it possible to anticipate problems, reduce risks, and facilitate interaction with the public sector—contributing to energy infrastructure projects advancing within the set deadlines.
