Climate, Sustainability, and ESG Consultation Services
“The Only Constant in Life Is Change.”- Heraclitus.
This 2500-year-old observation holds true today not only in life but in business as well. Urgent pressures on our climate, work force, supply chain, natural capital, transportation system and energy infrastructure are dramatically changing the way businesses operate, communicate, innovate and thrive.
In response to these changes stakeholders are demanding meaningful transparency, effective strategies and measurable action from market actors. The difference between this market shift and previous related movements, such as sustainability, is that ESG fundamentally changes how success is measured and how risk is assessed.
This change has been branded as ‘ESG’ – Environmental, Social Governance and is an expression of the risks and opportunities related to the long-term viability of an organization. It is a crowded and often confusing landscape of materiality, ratings, frameworks, declarations, shareholder proposals, investor demands and, more and more, regulation. It can be a long and arduous trek for a company to mature their approach, operations, communications, and outcomes to ensure they are prepared to continue to deliver value and successfully transition to the satisfaction of their stakeholders. At its most distilled essence, ESG is simply an approach to business that positions an organization to effectively compete in an ever-changing marketplace so that it is able to create value and deliver returns to stakeholders 5, 10, 50 years into the future.
