ESG & Corporate Purpose Services
The questions we can help you answer:
-
What issues are we going to focus on and why?
What are we going to do about those issues?
Our team helps develop — or update — your materiality assessment through stakeholder engagement, executive interviews, and an assessment of current ESG maturity. The results of this materiality assessment inform what issues create risks and opportunities to the business and your key stakeholders. This process culminates in an enterprise ESG strategic plan.
-
What are our long-term goals and KPIs?
How will we oversee data collection and consolidation?
We bring expertise developing the policies, protocols, and programs needed for data collection and reporting. Our team helps you set up the measurement and reporting framework, establish long-term goals and KPIs, and create the necessary internal governance structure to guide implementation.
-
Are we compliant with emerging disclosure regulations in our markets?
Are we disclosing the right information to the right stakeholders?
We help you assess ESG regulatory requirements and complete compliant reporting for your industry, region, and company status. We help you align with globally recognized frameworks as well as industry-specific coalitions and requirements, from SASB and TCFD to GRI, UN SDGs, and others.
-
Are we communicating with our stakeholders authentically and consistently?
Are we addressing both the narrative and the numbers?
Your ESG strategy is more than an annual box-checking exercise for disclosure requirements. We help you tell the authentic story of why your company exists, capturing both the numbers and the narrative, to forge deeper relationships and engage stakeholders on the communication channels they use.
Numbers and Narrative, In Their Own Words
