Delivery solution in every city, town and community

Creating an ESG strategy that can withstand the test of time, stakeholder demands and organisational culture, can be overwhelming. In order to deliver impact, organisations need to clearly define their measurable objectives from the very beginning.

A materiality assessment is the process of understanding what is important to your organisation and should be the foundation of any ESG strategy. Materiality assessments are created to consider more than just the business impact, so financial and non-financial, a concept known as double materiality.

Materiality is continuously evolving and is scaled to provide the correct level of insight to start strategy planning. The importance of ESG topics varies by industry, company and stakeholders.

REPORTING AND FRAMEWORKS

There is no single way to report and the best solutions will differ from one business to the next. It is a complex but essential tool for managing ESG impacts and a requirement for responding all stakeholders and the investment community, which has become increasingly demanding about the ways of ESG impact value creation.

Understanding what drives your organisations need to report is the starting point and this can be one sole reason or a mixture of different pressures to satisfy different stakeholders needs.

One of the main reasons for reporting ESG is to meet compliance with the ever changing global regulations, for example, all UK companies are now expected to disclose against TCFD by 2022 and the EU Reporting Directive outlines rules on disclosure of non-financial information for all large EU companies. Disclosures are also being demanded more often by investors, lenders and insurers due to increasing awareness of the impact that non-financial risks can impose.

Reporting can also be a key method for an organisation to tell its value creation story and disclose statements on how non-financial risks and opportunities are being managed. Organisations need to understand who is requesting non-financial disclosures, the specific disclosures they require and what they are using them for.

Disclosures and reporting are time-consuming and resource intensive so organisations need to report the most relevant content in an effective way for key stakeholders. Different frameworks target different stakeholder groups so only once you have acknowledged what your stakeholder wants, can you choose the relevant framework.
