Sustainability and ESG Advisory

Sustainability and ESG Advisory

 

Overview

Our integrated approach considers that sustainability and ESG matters are fundamental not only for regulatory compliance, but also for risk management and commercial strategy and management.

We believe that an organisation that minimises its impact on the environment is a efficient one. An organisation that looks after its people and makes a positive contribution to society is much more likely to be a resilient and sustainable business. If your organisation can manage and mitigate ethical and sustainability risks, it becomes more attractive and valuable to investors and stakeholders.

The evolving reporting, governance and regulatory requirements, as well as demands from stakeholders and investors, are driving significant change. New regulatory and governance requirements now cover assurance, supply chain transparency and reporting frameworks.

“Reporting requirements already include the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), EU Taxonomy Regulation, EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). 

It is expected that most organizations, even if not required by regulations, will disclose sustainability reports and information, due to pressure from customers, suppliers, financiers and investors, or simply due to a strategic decision inherent to their business model.

The focus on ESG issues is a relatively new one for many organisations and requires new skillsets and knowledge. However, our team of experts are ready to support you. In this context, our team of experts is ready to support organizations in their ESG journey, addressing key challenges:

  • Understanding the entire regulatory landscape, still with undergoing changes;
  • Grasping stakeholders' expectations and understanding what the competition is doing, identifying best practices;
  • Defining an overall strategy for dealing with ESG, encompassing not only immediate reporting but also considering the entire business;
  • Enabling ESG reporting: determining what to report, how to gather fragmented and non-standardized information efficiently, using technology, and ensuring that information is auditable.
