Materiality assessment
Conducting an effective Materiality Survey is the first step in developing an ESG Strategy. It helps you uncover the most critical ESG topics for your business. Comprehensive research on the sector, geographical factors, peers, standards and frameworks, relevance to stakeholders, and impact on the business is undertaken to identify material topics. Meticulous engagement with relevant internal and external stakeholders can also be conducted to determine and prioritise the key focus areas for a business. Your materiality assessment defines your optimum sustainability strategy, and it is a requirement for any organisation seeking an ESG rating.
ESG Strategy
By undergoing the transformation towards becoming a ‘sustainable’ organisation, clients can maximise profits while positively impacting society and limiting negative externalities. Strategically focusing on (ESG) issues which are the most relevant to shareholder value, firms can simultaneously boost both financial and ESG performance. We assist in strategic planning and offer advice on how to integrate the sustainability strategy throughout the organisation, including advising on the appropriate operating model to achieve optimal outcomes.
ESG Program Design
Our team will design an issues-based ESG program tailored specifically for your organisation’s unique culture, stakeholders, objectives, and maturity, plus reporting, communication, and training plans. We will develop your Sustainability Transition Plan and map it to the ESG frameworks so you can be certified. Our industry experts can oversee your corporate sustainability process from carbon footprint / GHG reporting to getting your corporate ESG rating. Our advisory service will map a strategy based on improving revenues and reducing costs.
ESG Program Implementation
Progressive ESG integration strategy and implementation roadmaps are recommended to enhance ESG performance by setting comprehensive goals and targets, taking initiatives, and developing tools to monitor the periodical ESG progress. frontier. We’ll help implement procedures, controls, and data governance, along with training initiatives, to support technology selection and implementation.
ESG reporting services
Once your ESG program is up and running, we’ll assist you in validating and cleansing data to allow for accurate, standardised ESG reporting to regulatory bodies and other important stakeholders. We help organisations improve their ESG disclosure quality and transparency in ESG communications by assessing their ESG performance, bridging ESG gaps, tracking and monitoring progress, and driving resilience to ensure business continuity. We formulate ESG data collection templates, sustainability strategies and frameworks, implementation roadmaps, and policies and procedures to help businesses achieve industry leadership to enhance their sustainability performance and ESG ratings.
ESG Training
Through our research & development process, we are continuously innovating new ways to meet the changing needs of our learners. Our Onsite and Online Environmental Courses are interactive and always updated.

Over the last few years, climate-related issues including the pursuit of net zero have risen to the top of the sustainability agenda in corporate boardrooms. While reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a critical priority for business, so too is the need to preserve natural systems and biodiversity. Increasingly, the climate and nature agendas are recognized as intertwined, even interdependent. And, as with climate change, 2030 presents key deadlines for ambitions like the determination of multiple countries to protect 30% of land by 2030. The success or failure of these will depend on the ESG strategies of the various companies among other reasons.
Biodiversity goals have been given greater urgency than ever before by the Dasgupta Review, an independent report on the economics of biodiversity. The study examines the planetary boundaries framework, a concept that offers a collection of nine biophysical processes necessary to Earth System functioning as well as boundaries (i.e., constraints) that define a safe operating zone for each one. Each border breach brings the world one step closer to global destabilisation and perhaps unparalleled operational danger for enterprises. Alarmingly, 2022 saw the fifth and sixth boundaries breached.
Organisations must evaluate their current impact on nature and biodiversity. Many of the current processes used in Environmental and Social Impact Assessments can be utilised to accomplish this (ESIA). ESIAs forecast the environmental and social consequences of a proposed future project. By conducting scenario planning exercises to examine physical risks, organisations may gain a better understanding of how potential climate change impacts will affect ecology and biodiversity. This will help them determine where their facilities, supply networks, and capital assets are exposed to challenges like sea-level rise, flooding, heat waves, drought, and storms, among others.
Nature-first business practices may conserve and maintain tremendous economic value. A nature-first approach to net zero protects enterprises against natural threats while also safeguarding the environment from overuse. Organisations may address net zero and nature by grounding their strategies in nature-first models and decarbonizing their operations through techniques that conserve, restore, and manage nature sustainably. This has the ability to lower a company’s environmental effect while also decreasing the company’s influence on the climate crisis, therefore enhancing the resilience of both the ecosystem and the organisation.
Nature-first solutions shift away from measures that only prevent environmental harm and toward those that have a positive impact. This might include conserving indigenous species and building new natural vegetation buffers around and through plantations and agricultural systems, or providing nature-based solutions surrounding facilities in place of overreliance on artificial fertilisers and pesticides (e.g., using vegetation to reduce flooding). Carbon offsetting also plays an important part in nature-first methods.
