ESG TEAM AS A SERVICE

KEY CHALLENGES

As organisations grow in size and complexity, so do the expectations of stakeholders: investors, owners, employees, clients, suppliers, recruits, public authorities, local communities and civil society.

Regulatory requirements are increasingly onerous, especially for the financial sector, as public administrations and regulators look to organisations as one of the most effective levers of change.

SERVICE-BASED DELIVERY OR IN-HOUSE?

An in-house, full-time sustainability team is typically valuable and necessary for a large organisation or one with a significant environmental footprint.

For others, it can be a challenging function to establish and maintain due to the high level of subject matter knowledge required, and the need to incorporate this profile of professional into existing performance management systems and career development.

Our ESG team as a service offers flexibility and cost-effective access to an experienced team who can provide continuity to your organisation with minimal senior management input.  So, you get the best of both worlds: continuity from an expert team that knows you and your organisation, in just the right amount.

WHAT YOU GET

  • you are able to enhance the way your organisation manages sustainability.

  • you through the evolving sustainability landscape, which increasingly mirrors the breadth, depth and rigour of financial reporting and compliance.

  • you to integrate sustainability across your operations in a pragmatic and effective manner, raising the bar on what business-as-usual looks like for you.

  • from a Head of Sustainability to subject matter experts who get to know your business and your people, and only provide the services you need. Selected and lead by Bright Blu Dot, your team members are drawn from our international multilingual network.

  • to integrate sustainability into core business across all functions in your company.

  • to integrate sustainability into core business across all functions.

Sustainability should be delivered by your entire organisation, not just a single function, so why do you need a dedicated team? 
To ignite, guide and empower. Our partnership offers you subject-matter expertise with continuity and flexibility.  Your sustainability capabilities across the business will strengthen and develop without needing to recruit or manage highly specialised sustainability experts.

Drawing on our in-house and advisory experience, our collaborative approach will ensure you have the right foundations in place:

Horizon scanning & filtering 

Staying abreast of new developments, your Head of Sustainability will ensure that you identify the most important ESG issues to your business, considering both how they impact you (eg, in terms of revenue, reputation, risk) and how you contribute to these topics positively and negatively.

Strategy & direction 

By integrating sustainability into your business strategy, you will maximise the value of your investment, while inspiring key stakeholders.  

With our support, your leadership team will be able to set goals in line with your level of ambition and risk appetite, and feel empowered to articulate what it wants to achieve in relation to sustainability.

Trust & capacity building

Sustainability is transforming functions from strategy to finance, HR to comms., purchasing to sales. 

With our support, these functions will understand, own and manage ESG opportunities whilst mitigating risks. As they further develop processes and tools under our guidance, their confidence will grow.

Validation & support 

Everyone is under pressure to stay on track with time, budget and scope. We have the operational experience to meet your people where they are at, providing support so that key outputs, such as ESG reporting, are of high quality.
