Our Capabilities

  • Designing a sustainability strategy aligned to business strategy

    An effective sustainability strategy is fully integrated into business strategy, addressing the most material impacts – on the firm and by it – over the long term and across various future scenarios. It should incorporate both risk mitigation and value-creating opportunities internally and throughout the supply chain.

  • Embedding sustainability in operations

    Embedding sustainability in operations targets data provision, resource efficiency, innovation and future preparedness. Optimally, a firm’s internal processes will incorporate sustainability in design, procurement, manufacturing, service provision, distribution and end use. This is supported by effective ESG data gathering processes, collation, analysis and monitoring metrics.

  • Optimising the sustainability organisation and management structure

    The ownership and responsibility for sustainability should be clearly defined both as a functional area and embedded within other roles across the organisation. Governance structures ensure sustainability is regularly discussed by the Board and there is consistency in the organisation’s actions, employee behaviours and reward mechanisms aligned with the firm’s sustainability aspirations. 

  • Engaging with stakeholders

    Stakeholder engagement is an integral component to materiality analysis that looks at how sustainability factors impact a company and its financial prospects, and how the firm is impacting society and the environment. Once material impacts have been identified and included in sustainability strategy, the firm should have regular dialog with both internal and external stakeholders on its progress.

  • Excelling in ESG reporting and disclosures

    The sustainability ecosystem has ways firms can signal their commitments and impact, from mandatory regulatory disclosures to voluntary frameworks, accreditations and scorecard ratings. Meeting these disclosure requirements necessitates mastery of complex ESG reporting which serves an important function to provide transparency and support accountability.
