Our ESG Optimisation Tool

How we work

Improving ESG performance should be approached holistically by looking at strategy, alignment and delivery. That’s why we developed the Simply Sustainable ESG Optimisation Tool_© to help our clients think through each element of their ESG performance in a way that builds long-term value and increases attractiveness to investors. It identifies the six key steps to consider when looking to improve your ESG performance, all of which must be leveraged to meaningfully embed ESG into strategy and disclosures. We use these steps flexibly with our clients to plan and support the targeted actions that will improve their ESG performance.

ESG Ratings

Optimising performance

We support our clients to optimise their ESG ratings performance by using an evidence-based approach to improving public reporting and strategy. This is achieved through prioritising and engaging with ratings providers such as MSCI, FTSE4Good and Sustainalytics, and by analysing the ratings criteria and individual company performance. Our recommendations pinpoint quick wins and longer-term actions that will improve your reputation with investors; save you time spent responding to requests; and strengthen your overall approach to sustainability.

Reporting

Focused disclosures

Effective disclosure and performance reporting are vital to improve your scoring on ESG ratings and in increasing investor confidence. Investors want to understand how ESG fits into the company strategy and how material topics are managed. At the same time, they may expect you to align your reporting with key disclosure frameworks such as GRI, SASB and TCFD. We ensure that your reporting is geared towards the interests of your investors and that it aligns with key disclosure frameworks so that they have the necessary information to make decisions about your business.
