Sustainability Reporting
Growing public expectations around Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) have increased investors’ emphasis on investing in companies that actively address Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) concerns, focus on sustainability, and pursue good corporate citizenship.
Growing evidence suggests that positive sustainability activities can contribute to a company’s long-term financial performance and create competitive advantages, including a more stable and broader investor base; a lower cost of capital; improved recruiting and employee engagement; an enhanced social license to operate within communities; and deeper stakeholder loyalty.
ESG Peer Comparison &
Positioning Report
ESG ratings can vary dramatically between rating agencies due to differences in methodology, subjective interpretation, market cap size, location, or industry. ESG is not an exact science.
The journey starts here. Understanding how your company compares to industry peers and companies in other industry segments, as well as considering stakeholder (employees, community) and investor perceptions of your company’s sustainability activities, provides an invaluable baseline for creating and monitoring your ESG strategy.
ESG Best Practices &
Action Plan
Rating agencies rely on public information to cull data for ESG scoring.
It’s critical for a company to understand the broadly accepted ESG metric categories and identify best practices and constructive actions to address areas for improvement. Establishing a plan to drive improvements and communicate the effectiveness of your activities will help improve ESG scoring.
Corporate Social Responsibility Reports
(Digital and Print)
The Corporate Social Responsibility Report improves transparency about your company’s business activities and their impact on your communities and the environment. A well-designed report provides a way to communicate company sustainability and accountability goals externally and to measure and share progress—using accurate, insightful data—with stakeholders. In addition, the report provides a platform to systematically communicate ESG performance.
Sustainability reporting is vital to companies seeking to maximize shareholder returns and create long-term stakeholder value. EnerCom helps clients understand, enhance, and more effectively communicate their sustainability efforts to stakeholders to maintain—or improve—their ESG score and CSR profile.
Identifying strategic ESG risks and opportunities can be difficult; it’s all about materiality and is an ongoing process. EnerCom’s Sustained Action CSR Support will help you evaluate, create, quantify, and manage your corporate CSR/ESG strategy and communicate your progress and results with broad, consistent, and intentional messaging through traditional and digital channels.
