We gather and analyze existing data on our client's environmental impact, social initiatives and governance practices. This involves reviewing current policies, procedures and performance metrics and paying special attention to their current legal compliance status in environmental, social and corporate regulation.

Another crucial part of this assessment is engaging with internal and external stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers, and community members, to understand their perspectives on the client's ESG performance.

We identify areas for improvement by comparing the client's current practices against ESG standards and benchmarks relevant to their industry and operations.

From this, we are able to identify risks associated with current ESG practices, including regulatory, reputational and operational risks.

From our findings we can establish clear and specific, measurable ESG goals and targets. This might include reducing carbon emissions, improving diversity and inclusion or enhancing board oversight and transparency.

This ESG strategy is obviously aligned with the clients overall business objectives and values.

Next we outline practical steps and initiatives required to achieve the ESG targets. This could involve implementing new technologies, changing operational processes or developing new policies.

Resource allocation is paramount as we determine the resources needed for implementation, including budget, personnel and technology.

This step includes developing a system for tracking progress against ESG goals, using relevant metrics and indicators and establish a schedule for regular reporting on ESG performance to stakeholders, including investors, customers and regulatory bodies.

Feedback loops are paramount for continuous improvement on ESG initiatives. Our experts can help you create mechanisms for ongoing feedback.

Be prepared to adapt the ESG strategy in response to new challenges, opportunities and evolving best practices.
