Sustainability Strategy and Goal Setting
Our process for setting our clients' sustainability strategy and determining the appropriate goals involves workshops and interviews with the leadership team, select internal stakeholders, and external stakeholders. In addition, we perform benchmarking analysis of competitors' sustainability metrics and scores. Then we guide our clients through the development of a Vision and Mission Statement that serves as the directional compass for the organization.
A comprehensive strategy includes:
-
Development of Mission and Vision Statements
-
Competitive Benchmarking
-
Internal Benchmarking of Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) data
-
Setting Internal Goals/Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
-
Development of Scorecards for Tracking Goals
-
Long Term Planning and Roadmaps for Achieving Goals and Improving Investor Rankings.
Materiality Assessments
A Materiality Assessment can be included in a Strategy or can be performed as a stand alone project. Materiality Assessments determine the high priority/high impact areas that an organization needs to focus their sustainability initiatives on in order to define the scope of their program and to develop a GRI sustainability report.
