Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Consultancy

ESG considerations are becoming increasingly important for investors as they seek to integrate sustainability factors into their decision-making processes – and also meet emerging international regulations, with new EU requirements (Corporate Responsibility Directive) alone set to cover over 50,000 companies.

There is a growing recognition that companies who operate sustainably are more likely to have a positive impact on society and the environment, and in turn will be better positioned for long-term success in investors’ eyes – with end users themselves driving the agenda by favouring brands who tangibly demonstrate ‘above-and-beyond’ practices when it comes to people and the planet.

In addition to meaningfully joining the UN’s mission for a ‘Decade of Action’ and Agenda 2030, companies that integrate meaningful, reportable ESG considerations into their operations may benefit from improved risk management, future-proofed efficiencies, enhanced brand reputation, and increased access to capital.

Implementing ESG practices requires significant effort and investment, and companies must balance their sustainability goals with their financial objectives – for example, changing mindsets from purely financial capital to also considering complementary natural and social capital amongst other, integrated value-creation criteria in future initiatives.
