Benchmarking ESG and sustainability performance against key industry peers is an important first step to ensure an appropriate scope for your sustainability program. We conduct peer reviews, gap analysis and stakeholder surveys to identify any gaps and opportunities to set a baseline or improve performance.

Identifying and prioritising material topics is the foundation for an effective sustainability strategy and reporting program. We draw on peer reviews, gap analysis and stakeholder engagement techniques to highlight the key impacts on your business and their effects on stakeholders.

Developing an ESG strategy to complement your short, medium and long-term business plan is essential. We create a strategic roadmap that clearly sets out the scope, goals, processes and targets for your ESG program which are achievable, realistic and aligned with international best practice frameworks.

Transparent sustainability reporting builds trust and accountability. From beginning to end, we manage the whole process to help you communicate your sustainability approach, data performance and narrative. This includes project team briefings, investor and Board updates and presentations, data collation and processing, copywriting, editing, audit engagement, design briefing and feedback. We take care of the hard work for you.

The impact of climate change is a growing challenge for organisations, big and small. As part of international efforts to address these risks and decarbonise their operations, many Australian companies will be required to disclose their climate risks and opportunities under the new Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS).

Engaging with stakeholders – your employees, customers, shareholders, communities, suppliers and other key groups – provides valuable feedback and insights into the important sustainability risks and opportunities for your organisation.

Our team can advise on best-practice reporting against the major global sustainability frameworks. We provide support on selection of the appropriate standards for disclosure and develop a customised plan to progress your organisation’s sustainable development goals. Our team specialise in ASRS, ISSB, GRI, SASB, IRMA, TNFD, UNSDG and Global Compact frameworks.

Create a sustainable procurement strategy to generate positive ESG impacts throughout the supply chain. We offer advice on sustainable supply chains, supply chain mapping, compliance and due diligence support for procurement and off-take partner negotiations to help demonstrate accountability, transparency and process improvement.

We recommend a purpose-driven approach to sustainable development aligned to your organisation’s mission, values and business strategy. We provide education and workshops to upskill your team’s sustainability competencies, helping develop the ESG capacity of your business.

We work with many of our listed clients to assess and improve their ESG ratings. An enhanced ESG ratings score helps a company to enhance its stakeholder relationships, drive greater investments, access to lower-cost capital and green bonds and make strategic decisions in a more effective and sustainable manner.

A recent governance study by the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) showed that more directors are prioritising climate governance. A growing number of directors regard it as a critical risk, with over 60% believing that their Boards should pay more attention to it.

An assessment of Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions help determine your organisation’s carbon footprint. As more businesses identify climate change, emissions and energy as material concerns, calculating an emissions profile helps to identify areas for future action and mitigation.
