Environmental Social And Governance

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy is creating new challenges and opportunities for leaders to create sustainable, inclusive growth. Successful companies are implementing ESG strategies that increase financial, societal, and environmental impact as well as ensure long-term competitiveness. Achieving bold ambitions requires understanding current state performance and sector trends, managing diverse stakeholder interests, valuing risks and opportunities, and setting distinctive and measurable goals that build capabilities and broaden impact.

SO SUSTAINABILITY brings a unique approach to ESG focused on value creation that involves benchmarking, strategy development, initiative design, program execution, investor and external communications, and reporting. Our capabilities are bolstered by unique, data-driven, and proprietary solutions supporting clients throughout each ESG journey. Our approach combines expertise of what drives values and impact within sectors, and our domain and social expertise stretches across ESG dimensions, such as sustainability, net-zero, culture and talent, diversity, equity, and inclusion, economic development, public health, education, and future of work, among many others.

HOW WE CAN HELP

Identifying value-creation opportunities
We diagnose current ESG positioning and evaluate performance by leveraging our proprietary ESG benchmarking tools, business value-at-stake (downside and upside), and rapid materiality assessment of ESG issues across stakeholders.

Differentiating strategies
We help create an integrated ESG strategy by setting aspirations and designing specific ESG initiatives, including business case and implementation considerations. The strategy encompasses learnings from peer benchmarking and best-in-class examples, as well as gathering input from interactive workshops.

Building execution capabilities
We support capability building for all employees, executives, and the board; establish an operating model to deliver on ESG goals, which includes incentives and talent needed, and build infrastructure for tracking and reporting progress.

Designing engagement strategies
We develop communications strategies internally and externally, support partnerships across external reporting, including investors, ESG standards, and ratings agencies.
