Expertise to Support ESG Value Creation

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) programs help organizations align their long-term value creation initiatives with their corporate goals. Doing so within a measurable framework that supports accurate and transparent reporting is vital.

An effective ESG reporting program requires a comprehensive strategy that addresses short- and long-term goals, policies, reporting and data management infrastructure. Each of these elements is important in tracking progress towards realizing the organization’s ESG objectives. Meeting regulatory requirements and building transparency throughout the supply chain and with capital allocators, customers and employees are key drivers of ESG program adoption.

An ESG program helps meet stakeholder expectations and enhances competitive advantage through a well-rounded approach to risk management.
