Are you ready for the ESG journey?

18 July 2022

ESG reporting is all about disclosing information covering the risks and opportunities impacting a company in three areas: environmental responsibility, social responsibility, and corporate governance.

Why are companies adopting ESG?

  • Adoption of ESG philosophy as part of the culture of the company
  • Cost reduction / Revenue increase
  • Optimising long term investments
  • Answering investors’ selection criteria
  • Better reputation
  • Legal & moral obligation
  • Implementation of a sustainable business model

What's stopping companies from taking the first step?

  • Various frameworks and fast moving standards (GRI, EU Taxonomy, SASB, CDP, ..)
  • Complex data management (siloes, manual data collection, no connection to financial performance, ...)
  • Difficulty to get the full picture of a vast and multi-faceted topic
  • Considering ESG reporting as a mandatory set of KPIs instead of integrating the ESG strategy to the performance management cycle (Budgeting, What if analyses etc..)

It's time to start the journey!

It's time to move from theory to pragmatic approach, from challenges to solutions!
