Sustainability and ESG
Sustainability is an expression of a company's maturity and responsibility towards the external and internal environment in which it operates. European legislation defines this responsibility in terms of the environment (Environment), social groups/relationships (Social) and the way the company is managed (Governance). Companies will be required to report on their ESG activities in the form of ESG reports, which will become an integral part of non-financial reports. This type of reporting will not only be required by law, but will also be a business imperative, e.g. for companies that are part of supply chains. We are ready to use our experience and advice in this area for:
Designing a Corporate Sustainability Strategy based on the business of you company, values, vision and mission, and other relevant factors.
Identifying materiality for Scope 1 and 2, prepare methodology for materiality for Scope 3.
Establishing a system for regular reporting on ESG and SDG targets (CSRD reporting) in relation to applicable legislation or supply chain requirements.
Automating the calculation of carbon footprint - CO2 or other greenhouse gas emissions from the company's overall operations as well as from key products and services.
Preparing effective Communication Support to accept sustainability strategy by all relevant stakeholders.
