Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles have evolved from a niche concern into a central pillar of corporate strategy. We help businesses embed ESG principles to reduce risk, drive innovation, and meet evolving regulations.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles have evolved from a niche concern into a central pillar of corporate strategy. Far from being mere box-ticking exercises, ESG frameworks address the pressing challenges of environmental impact, social equity, and ethical governance – issues that increasingly shape the fortunes of companies and their supply chains. By embedding ESG into their operations, businesses not only mitigate risks but also unlock opportunities for innovation, efficiency, and long-term value creation.
The drivers of ESG’s prominence are clear. Heightened regulatory scrutiny, such as the EU Taxonomy and OECD guidelines, is compelling firms to demonstrate compliance. Investors are demanding greater transparency, steering capital toward those who can credibly align profit with purpose. Consumers, too, are wielding their influence, favouring brands that take responsibility for their broader impact. In this environment, ESG is not simply an obligation but a competitive necessity, marking the difference between businesses that adapt and those that fall behind.
Due Diligence (DD) is a cornerstone of responsible decision-making, providing a systematic assessment of risks and opportunities associated with investments, transactions, or projects. Environmental and Social Governance Due Diligence (ESG DD or ESDD) extends this process, integrating environmental, social, and governance considerations to ensure that decisions align with sustainability principles, stakeholder expectations, and regulatory requirements.
As global markets increasingly prioritize ESG performance, ESDD has transitioned from a value-add to a critical requirement, particularly for financial institutions, project sponsors, and multinational corporations. Our ESG DD and ESDD services help clients navigate this complex terrain.
Our approach is designed to facilitate compliance with frameworks such as the OECD Common Approaches, IFC Performance Standards, Equator Principles, EU Taxonomy, and other sustainable finance frameworks, while identifying opportunities to enhance sustainability performance.
We also frequently collaborate with other leading consulting firms as a trusted sub- contractor on ESDD assignments.
The EU Taxonomy is redefining the way businesses and investors approach sustainability. Designed as a science-based classification system, it identifies activities that make substantial contributions to six key environmental objectives: climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation, sustainable use of water, circular economy, pollution prevention, and biodiversity protection.
For companies and projects seeking access to green financing or aiming to demonstrate sustainability credentials, alignment with the Taxonomy has become a strategic imperative. Furthermore, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires businesses to disclose their Taxonomy alignment, embedding these criteria into the core of corporate reporting obligations.
We can help evaluate and enhance your business activities’ alignment with the EU Taxonomy by addressing the critical criteria, incl. substantial contribution, ‘Do No Significant Harm (DNSH)’ compliance, and adherence to minimum social safeguards. Our expertise spans a range of assessments, from quantifying climate mitigation impacts and identifying adaptation measures to improving resource efficiency and circularity across value chains.
