Corporate Sustainability
Corporations, private equity and investors are recognising that it is no longer only about how a company鈥檚 operations聽impact聽the environment, its people, and the communities in which it operates, but it's also increasingly about how sustainability issues can materially impact a company鈥檚 performance and ultimately, its value.
With the 2020 global health crisis, global population growth, climate change, energy transition, evolving and globally-organised social and community actions on issues such as diversity and race, and ultimately adaption to the next normal, the demand for greater transparency and action around sustainability has never been greater.
Overview
Corporate sustainability has rapidly evolved from a perceived nice-to-have proposition to a necessary focus area for most enterprises. The 2020 global health crisis has brought attention to corporate sustainability performance and values, with larger global corporations leading on ethical and positive social issues. As companies and funds adapt to the next normal, those with a stronger sustainability position are outperforming those without a clear strategy.
SLR has been highly active in the sustainability space for over 15 years and offers a package of sustainability advisory services developed and evolved through real, 'boots on the ground' experience, focused on what鈥檚 next for sustainability . We drive value, meaningful impact and critically, quantifiable returns, while maintaining corporate governance, risk management and compliance. SLR鈥檚 approach focuses on value-driven risk management actions with quantifiable outcomes at mission-critical assets to fully leverage your sustainability position.
No matter where you are on the Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) maturity curve, SLR鈥檚 pragmatic business-focused approach is aimed at quickly identifying value and impact, and developing programmes that both exceed stakeholder expectations and drive quantifiable returns.
Our comprehensive sustainability toolkit can be deployed to assist you at the corporate, fund and/or portfolio company/business unit level and at all stages of the investment cycle, each approach uniquely tailored to individual commercial needs and value actions.
SLR鈥檚 approach is focused on what鈥檚 next for sustainability. The market is evolving from measurement and disclosure to driving quantifiable value and meaningful impact. Our approach is to identify where the sustainability opportunities and potential exist and design a strategy around the sustainability value proposition first, rather than the traditional approach of a lengthy benchmarking and measurement exercise at the start. This includes recognising and capturing the sustainability value already unlocked within your organisation.
The result is a strategy aligned with your corporate values and investment goals, that will drive the results important to your business.
