The business landscape is rapidly evolving—economic, social, and environmental forces are pushing companies to navigate uncharted waters. Investors, stakeholders, shareholders and employees are increasingly expecting companies to have strong environmental, social and governance systems in place to manage risks and capitalise on opportunities. Our team is committed to helping you navigate these changes and find a better way forward.
Effective integration of sustainability is a powerful driver of innovation, growth, and resilience. However, the number of ESG standards and initiatives can be overwhelming, and they are constantly changing and increasingly more complex, making them difficult to navigate.
As industry leaders in sustainability for the mining and infrastructure sectors, we simplify the ESG landscape by focusing on the most relevant standards and developing credible strategies and practical management systems that align and integrate with your core business. Our sustainability experts create actionable plans that push beyond traditional ways of operating to drive change and innovation and connect strategy with capital plans. We partner with clients – acting as an extension of their team – to create credible strategy that is aligned with core business objectives and connected with available resources and technology.
We collaborate with our clients on:
- Strategy development: Shareholders, lenders and ESG rating providers are looking for credible sustainability strategies—with goals that are achievable relative to available resources and technology. We help you assess your options and determine what needs to be done to create a credible strategy that builds trust and leads to successful outcomes for your business.
- International Finance Corporation performance standards and equator principles: Delivering a major capital project requires expert management of the permitting process and coordination with lender requirements for sustainable development. We deliver robust environmental and social impact assessments that are aligned with international lending requirements and integrate into environmental and social management systems for successful project delivery.
- Benchmarking: We are experts in sustainability regulations and standards with a focus on the mining and infrastructure sectors. We can help select the right framework for benchmarking performance and goals.
- Implementation: Having a great strategy only matters if it can be effectively executed—we are experienced project and change managers with expertise in developing management systems that turn great ideas into measurable action.
- Reporting: Disclosing sustainability and non-financial performance is essential, but finding the right approach can be challenging. We help you develop a strong narrative that clearly communicates your sustainability strategy in a way that is consistent with industry-accepted reporting standards and supported with appropriate goals, targets, and metrics. We also help companies engage with ESG rating providers to improve ratings and streamline processes.
- Training: We are invested in your success and provide training to improve awareness and knowledge of key topics and issues. We help create shared mental models and the technical skills needed to support teamwork, collaboration, and innovation in sustainability.
