Environmental, Social and Governance
ESG Consultancy
Once purely a financial services term, ESG is now routinely used in board rooms as the useful collective descriptor for the range of aspects that relate to how a business interacts with society and the environment.
It spans climate change and wider sustainability, environmental compliance and liability management, health, safety and wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, employee development and retention, customer welfare, community relations, and business ethics and governance, amongst others.
Crucially, it is now understood that as both risks and opportunities, ESG factors are central to long-term commercial success. Environmental Social Governance management has become business critical.
Yet, whilst ESG is now in common business use, investment and the accessing of capital often still drives and defines the form of actions taken. From pension fund managers seeking to win new mandates, through to asset managers helping to invest that capital, to public or private businesses providing the opportunities for investment – actions are required to demonstrate that ESG risks and opportunities are being managed.
Private Equity and Investors
For investors, whether LPs, debt providers, or asset managers in real estate, infrastructure, private equity or listed equities, we have helped them win investment and fully analyse both the risk and opportunities to enhance their value during ownership.
Corporate Businesses
We have long helped corporate businesses to respond to the sustainability agenda through their ESG management and reporting strategies. As a result, we have been able to communicate their success, including when viewed through the lens of ESG ratings such as MSCI.
