What Do We Do?
Using a staged approach, we walk you through the process from start to finish and make sure you have systems in place to keep yourself current and effective. We break down our work into six key areas:
1. Organizational Orientation
• What is Corporate Sustainability, and which areas of your business are most impacted?
• Who uses company sustainability data, what do they use it for, and how can you better use it internally?
2. Defining Objectives & Setting Resource Commitments
• What do you hope to achieve – what does success look like?
• Which parts of the work can you manage internally, and which make more sense to outsource?
3. Data Gathering
• Who in the organization is going to be the point person or champion? Who else will assist? What sustainability data do you need to gather, how are you going to gather it, where will you store it, who will review it for accuracy and completeness, and who will have access to it?
• How frequently should the data be accumulated? Who is responsible for ensuring it is correct?
4. Data Consolidation & Presentation
• How are you going to compile and share the information? There are many options: Sustainability Reports, Annual Reports, Quarterly Reports, AIFs, press releases, conference calls, conferences, investor presentations, etc.
• How should you revise your corporate presentation deck to include a discussion of your sustainability efforts and achievements?
5. Internal & External Communication
• Who will take leadership on internal and external ESG communications? Investor Relations, dedicated Sustainability staff (do you have/need a Chief Sustainability Officer), the CFO, the CEO?
6. Process Review & Refinement
• How well is your sustainability process working, are you achieving your objectives, or do you need to revise your approach?
