ESG is now a core part of the investment decision process. An ESG report is published by businesses that want to share their Environment, Social and Governance performance with investors and other stakeholders. An ESG Report helps to measure your progress on a variety of impacts including:
- Sustainability and environmental performance
- Carbon footprint and GHG emissions (Scope 1,2+3).
- Ethical purchasing and procurement
- Supply Chain management
- Community and charity impact
- Employee welfare
- Customer satisfaction
- Long-term sustainable profitability
- Risk management and mitigation
Your impacts and therefore your ESG report should be measured against consistent standards. We can work with you to provide a consistent framework for measurement and improvement of your ESG performance. We can collect and audit your ESG data then work with your team to write your ESG report aligning your performance with the leading ESG reporting standards.
