OUR OFFER

 

Facing sustainability and Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) aspects of your organisation, do you:

  • Whether ESG is new to you or you’re looking to ramp up to the next level, mapping out material sustainability issues and stakeholders against your organisation’s plans can feel outside your comfort zone, but we’ll stay well grounded.

    Our approach based on GRI 3: Material Topics 2021* will help you identify your organisation’s most significant impacts on the economy, the environment and people, including their human rights.

    The three steps to identify and assess material sustainability impacts on an ongoing basis are:

    1) Understanding your organisation’s context

    2) Identifying its actual and potential impacts with reference to stakeholders

    3) Assessing the significance of impacts

  • For your internal and external audiences, whatever the occasion or the format, we’ll help you develop a consistent voice and messaging for ESG that are genuine, authentic, aligned to you and your organization, and we’ll start by listening intently.

    Our approach is clear and simple:

    persona - whose voice is speaking

    purpose - why the voice is speaking

    people - who the audience is

    place - the time and space of your voice and audience

    platform - the setting for your persona, purpose, people and place

    performance - how you will know your purpose has been achieved

  • Gathering stakeholders (internal or external) around ESG can work wonders for your organisation and reveal unexpected paths towards better performance and relationships; we’ll help you mix the art with the science to make sparks fly. Our approach to engaging stakeholders is built on:

    1) Identifying issues for engagement:

    background work: issue monitoring

    identifying and analysing key issues for engagement

    2) Identifying target stakeholders:

    background work: stakeholder mapping

    identifying and analysing your web of influence

    3) Developing a plan of engagement:

    set objectives and indicators

    determine key messages and channels to deliver them

    build support through alliances

    4) Deploying, reviewing and reporting:

    engage convincingly

    monitor and evaluate impact of engagement

    revise the plan of action

  • Sometimes your message is just right but its delivery needs a little something extra to give it strength. We can help you work on your own delivery or engage an external expert with the right combination of knowledge, experience and reputation; a voice of authority.

    Our approach aims to balance discretion and humility with ambition and conviction. We’ll help you make sure the voice of authority you engage complements your organisation’s wavelength.

  • Even with the best intentions, it’s not always easy to think straight around ESG, let alone craft a narrative or build a discourse that you’re comfortable with.

    We’ll listen – in confidence, of course - and stand by your side as you put the pieces together. We’ll navigate the twists and turns to make sense of ESG in a way that works for you and reveals more sustainable paths forward.

Whether you’re:

 

  • on a board or executive leadership committee 

  • in a corporate responsibility, sustainability, brand and comms., legal or investor relations function, well-seasoned or new in role

  • in a private, public or non-profit organisation, large, small, starting-up or growing 

If any of this sounds familiar, our experience and exposure since 2006 likely included assignments that can help you join (Bright Blu) dots across sustainability and ESG - so you’re welcome to connect!
