ESG consulting
Sustainable dividends from sustainable development
We are convinced that in the modern world, a company cannot succeed unless it complies with the principles of sustainable development and follows an effective ESG strategy.
Why does this matter?
The past two decades have seen investors’ attention shift towards sustainability. Top investment funds adhere to the six Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and will not invest in non-compliant companies. The green finance space is seeing a surge in interest, and international financial hubs are rolling out new reporting standards to regulate the disclosure of non-financial information. On top of this, the climate agenda is currently in the spotlight at both national and corporate levels.
What does this mean for your business?
- Sustainable development
- Improved risk resilience
- Stronger financial and operating results
- More productive employees
- A lower carbon footprint
- Access to new sources of finance
- Compliance with regulatory requirements, as well as standards and initiatives
- Long-term business value growth
