It is important for any company to have identified, understood and implemented internal controls to manage ESG risks. The services offered by EBS Advisory to facilitate this process focus on ensuring a business is legally compliant, has the correct governance processes in place, is defending their value created, is protecting their reputation, and continuing to enhance brand value.

This focus can also be defined as a business’s license to operate, which requires focus on developing internal buy in within the business for managing ESG risks identified. A business should after implementation of these services be able to identify material ESG issues, ensuring they are managed and communicated adequately to key stakeholders.

Communicating what you do as a business is critical to establishing a track record in ESG performance. This should focus on the use of both internal and external communication mechanisms and should leverage the use of multiple media channels.

EBS Advisory has specific experience in tailoring bespoke communication pieces.  This includes inputs to fund raising exercises, internal reporting for staff and senior management, as well as the reporting to external stakeholders on the company’s ESG and company performance.

The need for net-zero pledges to evolve into net-zero plans is clear and urgent under the emerging climate economy. Quantifying and offsetting physical, transitional, and reputational climate risk is a new and complex challenge for many financial institutions and companies.  Pressure is mounting from clientele, investors, industry regulators, and governments for an adequate and tangible response to the climate emergency. At EBS Advisory we hold a track-record of mitigating climate risk and maximising the opportunities in the shift towards net-zero economies.
