- Improved market understanding, opportunity identification, and risk protection
- Other targeted benefits
Our ESG strategies incorporate two broad aspects of ESG integration:
Influence overall corporate strategy, to ensure competitiveness or outright leadership in increasingly sustainability-oriented markets.
Capture the differentiated, specific ESG strategies and related actions that will achieve maximum benefits.
Strategy that meets ambition
We offer differing levels of ESG strategy support. We recognize different companies have different ambitions, while some companies increase their ambition as the significant opportunities become more evident.
For the ambitious: Aiming to be best
The majority of our clients are market leaders in their sectors or countries and markets. They aim to continue to lead – or extend their leadership advantage – through unique and differentiated sustainability leadership. These companies are leading innovations in sustainability across the region, and in some cases, leading innovation across emerging markets and globally.
At the same time, up and coming market players recognize that sustainability offers a potential differentiation advantage that can tip the market in their favor. These clients also seek ambitious sustainability strategies.
Aiming to understand and integrate ESG
Not every company aims to lead, but every company will need to integrate sustainability across their business. For companies that seek to understand the implications of ESG and sustainability for their companies and markets, and to take appropriate actions to capitalize on opportunities and mitigate risks, we provide highly contextualized strategies with just the right level of ambition and actions to create significant quick wins and benefits. These benefits inevitably tend to increase enthusiasm and further action towards ESG adoption.
Addressing ESG strategy process expectations
Our diligent ESG strategy process intentionally, and comprehensively, covers the ESG strategy and process requirements of major ESG ratings agencies and ESG disclosure standards, guidelines, and/or regulatory requirements. The outputs include summaries that can be used to meet ESG strategy public disclosure requirements.
