The last few years have seen significant changes in the approach to corporate sustainability.
Based on voluntary CSR initiatives, it has been superseded by ESG – a complex system of recommendations, guidelines and regulations requiring companies to take systemic care of climate and environmental impact, social and governance quality issues.
In addition to providing substantive support in this area, we support the ESG teams that are taking shape within companies in ongoing communication with stakeholders and specialised, globally operating entities that prepare ratings and rankings that assess companies in terms of their commitment to sustainability. We accomplish this task by, among other things, building specialised ESG services for our clients.
The benefits of implementing such a solution are first and foremost:
- Independence of ESG communication from other information streams coming from the company (product and investor communications)
- Ability to showcase the company’s overall ESG approach, strategy and integration of financial and non-financial objectives
- Facilitate communication with stakeholders and, most importantly, with rating agencies, investors and analysts
- Systemic demonstration of the organisation’s maturity through publication of policies and documents
- Demonstration of systematic and regular ESG activities through publication of news and case studies of sustainable initiatives
- Ability to publish achieved indicators more than once a year
- Ability to communicate along the value chain – with suppliers, key partners (e.g. retail chains) and customers
- Support for image building of sustainable brands and products
A large proportion of specialised global entities assessing companies for ESG maturity do not interact with them. They rely on publicly available data – primarily published online. Creating a dedicated ESG service using incoming company enquiries and surveys is a major relief for sustainability teams and a way to reduce the risk of ratings being downgraded due to authors failing to find relevant information.
We enable – in addition to technical implementation – the involvement of experienced consultancy teams in content creation.
When building ESG services, we use the experience and technical solutions we have developed for investor communications. We understand the role of indicators and data and visualise them in the form of interactive charts and infographics.
