Strategia e pianificazione ESG

Da anni abbiamo formato una visione nella quale trasmettiamo ai nostri clienti l’opportunità di integrare nella propria pianificazione strategica la visione sulla sostenibilità ESG che si collega direttamente con i concetti di sostenibilità economica e resilienza di lungo periodo insieme ad una restituzione in termini ambientali e sociali.

Pur essendo una delle più grandi sfide, la sostenibilità è anche una delle più grandi opportunità per avere un impatto reale.  

Sempre più aziende sono consapevoli che dal punto di vista del business, la sostenibilità diventa un asset strategico per rispondere alle aspettative degli stakeholder, aumentare il vantaggio competitivo, assicurare il valore a lungo termine e la redditività futura. Tuttavia, c'è spesso una mancanza di chiare strategie di sostenibilità e di piani di implementazione definiti.

Il nostro impegno per la sostenibilità si prefigge dall’inizio l’obiettivo di sviluppare soluzioni strategiche che integrino le tematiche che portano ad un miglioramento in ambito ambientale, sociale e nelle pratiche di governance. In questo modo, il nostro approccio mira ad assicurare ai nostri clienti che le proprie organizzazioni e le proprie persone crescano e prosperino fornendo strategie e strumenti per migliorare il proprio piano di sostenibilità.

Our commitment to sustainability begins and ends with doing the right thing, in every instance

Frequently Asked Questions

Should an organization have a sustainability strategy?

+

A company should have a sustainability strategy to set direction, measure the success of its efforts and adapt to change in a strategic manner. 

A sustainability strategy integrated with the overall corporate strategy can respond to investor expectations, meet consumer demands, reduce costs, augment the brand, serve as a magnet for talent and address regulatory issues. A periodic fresh look at new opportunities and emerging risks keeps the strategy aligned with changes in the market. Read more.

What is a materiality assessment and why is it performed?

+

A materiality assessment is the process through which a company identifies and evaluates ESG topics to determine which ones are important to the company and its key stakeholders. Materiality assessments are considered important activities by major ESG frameworks such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and in some cases are already required by regulation. A well-conducted materiality assessment can help a company focus its efforts on addressing the ESG issues that have the most impact on the organization’s ESG performance. A company can share its materiality assessment with stakeholders to demonstrate transparency and accountability. Read more.

How often should an organization refresh its sustainability strategy?

+

The frequency depends on factors specific to the organization: for example, existing planning cycles, major changes to the organization, stakeholder engagement activities and other factors that may impact the sustainability strategy. The strategy can also be refreshed in sync with the materiality assessment and the overall business strategy (e.g., annually). Read more.
