ESG Consulting Services

What’s driving ESG?

A growing number of trends are pushing companies to strengthen corporate ESG performance.

Where ESG has historically enabled corporate inaction through largely symbolic gestures, present-day actions must consider emerging:

  • Minimum thresholds for mandatory integrated securities reporting.
  • International corporate accounting standards and sustainability reporting requirements.
  • Government-mandated disclosure requirements.
  • Impacts of ESG on investors’ decision-making.
  • Impact of sustainability considerations on regulatory decisions, rate structures, and capital-intensive infrastructure projects.

The more ESG integrates into the corporate landscape, the greater the risks for less ESG-mature businesses.

What are your ESG challenges?

Rapidly evolving regulatory landscape

Governments, securities commissions, and standard-setting bodies continue to introduce new ESG requirements. Not only do you need to make sense of multiple rules and standards, but you also have a narrow window to achieve compliance.

Prioritization and planning

You want to address the ESG priorities that will most positively impact your people, stakeholders, and local environment. Still, you may be divided on which actions to take first and your roadmap to maturity.

Meeting stakeholder expectations

Employees, investors, customers, and even vendors now consider ESG performance a prerequisite to doing business with you. Each brings a unique perspective and set priorities — and many want to see third-party assurance of your efforts.
