ESG and sustainability
All companies are being impacted by the drive to be more sustainable, whether in their own business practices, in oversight of outsourced operations and supply chains, or in their guardianship of assets.
The legislative landscape in this space has evolved exponentially and continues to do so as more regulators take action to drive change to a greener, cleaner future.
Whether getting to grips with new disclosure requirements, seeking assurance on compliance with local or overseas regulatory obligations, or ensuring effective governance and oversight of corporate sustainability initiatives, we can help.
Whatever stage in the lifecycle you are we can support you in achieving your ESG and sustainability-related goals. Services we offer include:
How we can help
Strategy
Whether you’re just starting to consider your firm’s sustainability strategy or seeking comfort that you are on the right track, we can assist. We understand the importance of setting a clear strategy which aligns with the purpose and vision of the firm and that is truly embedded in the culture.
Regulatory compliance
The ESG regulatory landscape is complex and continues to develop at pace. We can help you understand what regulations apply to your operations and assess your compliance against them.
Reporting
The reporting burden for firms is growing and greater scrutiny being applied to sustainability-related disclosure. We can help you ensure your reporting is in line with industry best practice and regulatory expectations.
Training
In line with the continuously evolving ESG landscape, obligations on senior management, and risk and compliance professionals to oversee and challenge their firms on ESG and sustainability topics are huge. We can deliver tailored training to equip you to discharge your responsibilities effectively.
Independent reviews
Sometimes you just want a quick health check on certain topics or business areas. From greenwashing to investment process compliance and diversity and inclusion, we can give you assurance over the controls you have in place.
Due diligence
As part of managing ESG risk and transitioning to more sustainable practices, firms must look across their full value chain to ensure they are able to manage risk and create value. We can help you establish a robust ESG due diligence process that considers all business operations and supply chains and ensure these are aligned with the overall sustainability ambitions and strategy of the firm.
“More is expected of firms by all stakeholders and those who embrace positive sustainable change are giving themselves a competitive advantage. However, for this to succeed they must truly embed sustainability in their strategy, culture and across all operations.”
