Helping companies, financial institutions and other organisations put sustainability at the heart of their business

The importance of sustainability has grown significantly in recent years and has become a critical issue for many companies in an ever-changing regulatory environment. Issues such as climate change, environmental protection and supply chain management, as well as human rights and their role in our world, are becoming increasingly important. Sustainability is a focus not only for shareholders, investors and politicians, but also for potential and existing employees, customers and the public. Sustainable business practices and partnerships are fundamental to leading the way to a more sustainable and conscientious future.

Building a solid sustainability approach

Sustainability creates exciting opportunities for businesses. It can improve resilience, create economic value and contribute to a healthy ecosystem and a strong community. To remain competitive or to meet regulatory requirements, more and more organisations are embracing sustainability. They need to implement higher standards of governance, gain a full understanding of the risks arising from environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, and understand their own social and environmental impacts.

A sound sustainability approach requires a clear strategy, good governance and quality reporting that addresses the full range of sustainability issues. The benefits of integrating sustainability into business include resource efficiency, increased trust, loyalty and competitiveness, and compliance with applicable regulations.
