Sustainability and ESG
What we offer
We offer pragmatic solutions to transform business practices, enhancing sustainability and improving ESG performance
Sustainability and ESG Management Systems
The growing recognition and significance of sustainability have renewed focus on responsible business practices. Both businesses and society face various pressures, including climate-related challenges and the need for net zero targets, biodiversity and nature preservation, as well as social, welfare and ethical concerns such as human rights, gender equality, mental health and diversity. The heightened acknowledgment of the impacts and risks within supply chains are leading to more stringent regulations on due diligence, governance and oversight to enhance traceability, awareness and accountability.
We specialise in integrating sustainability into the core of company strategy and bolstering management systems and practices to generate lasting business and stakeholder value. We provide comprehensive sustainability and ESG strategy services to effectively harmonize business planning, operating models and governance structures with sustainability objectives.
Sustainability Reporting
As attention and demands for ESG and sustainability grow stronger, the practice of corporate sustainability reporting is now considered essential for ensuring long-term business resilience, achieving competitive success and gaining access to capital. Both regulators and stakeholders have heightened expectations for greater granularity and transparency on business policies, resources, targets and management of risks and opportunities throughout its value chains.
We specialize in guiding businesses through the ever-expanding landscape of reporting frameworks and creating reporting structures that present data in a business-oriented format. Our expertise in mandatory and voluntary reporting standards, such as ESRS, IFRS / ISSB, TCFD, GRI and others enable us to deliver sustainability reports in prescribed formats for a wide range of target audiences. Our approach involves staying up-to-date with the latest regulations, guidance and trends, and incorporating insights from various sectors and geographical locations.
Climate
Climate related standards and reporting frameworks represent the biggest growth within the ESG and sustainability policy realm. Growing imperative for climate action has led to increased mandatory climate related disclosure. The requirement to manage climate related risks and impacts is also inensifying, as it becomes more deeply ingraned both into regulatory frameworks and business operations.
In response to growing impetus to formulate comprehensive transition plans, we assist businesses in developing robust climate policies outlining their strategies for managing both the physical and transitional risks, with the ultimate aim of aligning with the goals of the Paris Agreement and achieving net zero emissions. Our services extend to facilitating the implementation of efficient climate risk measurement, reporting and action-traking proesses in line with climate objectives, regulatory requirements and established reporting frameworks.
Compliance Management
Businesses today face a multitude of compliance obligations, stemming from evolving regulations and technical standards, corporate demands and customer expectations. Moreover, secuing access to capital requires ongoing adherence to safeguards and performance standards mandated by sustainability policies of development funding institutions.
We offer a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory and contractual environment, as well as stakeholder interests and business processes. This knowledge enables us to create effective compliance management and assurance programs with practical solutions that enhance performance and drive long-term improvements. Our expertise extends to UK, EU and CIS legislation, technical norms and standards, international maritime environmental requirements, ISO and IOGP standards and environmental permitting. We also specialize in designing and implementing compliance assurance and reporting systems that adhere to the sustainability standards set by development funding institutions including EBRD, EIB, IFC, ADB, AIIB and the World Bank. Our extensive experience ensures that we can provide support to businesses throughout both pre- and post-disbursement phases.
Resource and Waste Management
The regenerative growth model is crucial for achieving long-term climate and sustainability objectives. Regulation, such as EU Taxonomy and ESRS, prioritize the promotion of circular economy principles, aiming to maximize the lifespan of products and their components.
We assist businesses in becoming part of the solution by embracing opportunities that are not only good for the environment but also make good business sense. With our extensive experience in waste and resource supply chains, we offer impartial and commercially-driven guidance to waste generators, service operators, and infrastructure developers. Our dedication lies in providing clients with advice and support that not only aligns with local legislation, guidance, and commercial conditions but also leverages our distinctive perspective on international best practice.
