If you are like most of our clients, you have been bombarded with confusing and often conflicting information about the emerging field of Sustainability and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and what it means for your business. We solve that problem.
From strategy to ESG framework selection, program development, and reporting, we provide a steady hand and deep knowledge to guide the development of your Sustainability and ESG program. We work with you to simplify your efforts with practical, implementable, and impactful solutions.
Executive leadership must be educated on the importance of ESG reporting and the likely impact that ESG-related issues are having within your industry and business.
The Executive team must be totally committed and there has to be a desire to allocate resources to achieve your ESG goals. As an executive, it is your responsibility to position your company for growth, profitability, and reduced risk.
Disclosure requirements differ by industry and not all ESG issues will be pertinent to your business. The key is to focus on material issues that have a reasonable likelihood of affecting your company’s financial position, operational performance, and risk profile.
It is important to research numerous frameworks to ascertain what is material to your business and which framework aligns with your company’s core values. Most of these frameworks are free and can be easily found online with a simple search.
If your competitors have already prepared an annual ESG report(s) it means two things. First, you are already behind your competition, but more importantly, they may have done some of the leg work for you by identifying specific risks, and giving you an opportunity to benchmark your performance against theirs.
Communicating with your stakeholders is the single most important part of your ESG journey. It is important to solicit feedback on what areas of ESG are most important to your stakeholders and industry. Then communicate openly to share progress and to keep your stakeholders engaged and educated on your progress.
It may seem obvious but take a step back. Corporate leaders are being continually challenged on the question of how the businesses they serve contribute to, and address the myriad of environmental, social, and governance issues that face us today. Leaders face increasing pressure from political activists, shareholders, social media, consumers, and their employees, to choose a side and make investment decisions based on the issues they hold dear. Choosing to ignore the importance of ESG, is to ignore the inherent recognition that strong ESG practices directly impact your bottom line. Sustainability programs are becoming a critical component of business strategy.
Together we’ll design and create your Sustainability & ESG Strategy to put you ahead of the curve.
