What is involved in SKCI’s ESG Strategy process?
ESG Strategy Workshop
The aim of the workshop is to define the objectives and scope of the organisation’s sustainability activities, and to create a Project Plan to achieve the goals and KPIs.
The workshop is structured to address the major sustainability questions, including:
-
- How does your ESG (Environmental Social and Governance) Strategy align with your overall company strategy, including your Mission and Purpose?
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of committing to Net Zero?
- What customer / other stakeholder pressure are we experiencing, or do we foresee?
- What do we see as the business benefits of addressing ESG / sustainability?
- How do we address emissions outside of our direct control (i.e. Scope 3 emissions)?
- What regulatory requirements do we need to address now (e.g. SECR) and what to expect in the future?
Following the workshop, your team will have a good understanding of benefits and challenges associated with addressing sustainability. SKCI will produce a project report which will include a road map tailored to the needs of your organisation.
ESG Project Implementation
Following on from the ESG Strategy Workshop, SKCI can provide a full range of tailored sustainability support services, the content of which will vary dramatically depending on:
- what is discovered in the ESG Strategy Workshop, and;
- your desire and ability to manage the sustainability activities in house.
Light Touch ESG Support
A light touch or minimum support may include providing expertise and assistance to your sustainability and ESG activity stakeholders in the form of a written project plan, road map, a KPI calendar, an ESG Strategy checklist and monthly project update meetings.
