Sustainability

Creating value from positive change for you, your stakeholders and society

Your customers, employees, investors and other stakeholders are looking for you to support a future that is decarbonised, fair and balanced with nature. These heightened expectations present a heightened risk. From defining your strategy to reporting effectively, we turn ambition into action, helping you build trust and create value.

Identify your risks to build resilience and trust

In a changing world, your organisation needs to be resilient. And the first step to building resilience is identifying your risks. Technology, data-driven insights and an ESG strategy can help you spot risks and opportunities, take action and tell your ESG story. Do this well and the benefits are huge - greater trust amongst your stakeholders, better access to capital, improved resilience, and increased value, long into the future.

“Customers, investors, employees and society as a whole expect more from organisations today. They expect businesses to do ‘good business’. This is not a box ticking exercise, but a whole new mindset which needs to be woven into an organisation’s DNA.

Spanning strategy through to reporting and the value creation beyond, we help clients gain clarity and confidence in navigating ESG’s complexities. We combine decades of experience and expertise with our power to convene the right people, helping organisations plan the transition and transform.”

Define your strategy

For sustainability action to succeed, it needs to make commercial sense. Your ESG strategy needs to consider your commercial risks, liabilities and opportunities. In fact, it’s likely your ESG and commercial strategies will already respond to many of the same challenges: changing customer behaviours, emissions targets, transitioning to a low carbon future. Combining our experience with data-driven technology, we’ll help you tie the two together, creating a strong sustainability strategy, which is also commercially robust.

Report on your progress

Robust, transparent and meaningful reporting can help you be competitive and drive confidence in your business. Our work spans Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) analysis, responding to government regulation and reporting on your gender pay gap. We can help you put in the right systems, report on progress to stakeholders and get ahead of regulation. This all-encompassing view will turn sustainability reporting into a source of value creation, rather than compliance.

Assess your impact

Understanding the impact you have today on the environment, society and the economy, is vital if the action you take for tomorrow is going to be meaningful. Critical areas like carbon emissions, nature, water and waste, diversity and inclusion, modern slavery and child labour, all need to be carefully considered. To ensure your ESG strategy is evidence-based and insights-led, we’ll help you identify, measure and assess the materiality of your impacts across all stages of your value chain. These will create powerful outcomes that allow you to manage and report on the impact you have on the world.

Protect nature

Our world’s biodiversity is threatened. And because more than half of the world’s total GDP is dependent on nature, businesses today face many risks - whether those be physical, regulatory, commercial or reputational. Every business should start by gaining an understanding of their dependencies and impact on nature. We help organisations create this understanding across their entire value chain, measure and report on their progress, and shape nature-positive strategies. Using a combination of expertise and technology, housed in our global Centre for Nature Positive Business, we’ll help you set targets which deliver sustainable, nature-positive outcomes.

Turn data into insights

Many organisations struggle with poor quality data, meaning they lack the insights needed to support transformation. Emissions data, for example, is particularly complex and time consuming to collect and verify. We use a suite of services and cutting edge cloud-based analytics to help you collect data and report effectively. Our experience will help you critically evaluate insights and make better sustainability-related decisions.
