Building an ESG program begins with a commitment to assess and adjust operations and implement impactful initiatives over time.
The process can be broken down into these stages:
Defining Strategy and Standards Assessment: Determine and state your organization’s ESG objectives and the guidelines and initiatives already in place, as well as any potential barriers to meeting these objectives.
Gathering Information: Connect your organization’s overall ESG strategy with the data, information, and metrics needed to report on the material elements outlined in the selected ESG reporting framework.
Reporting and Performance Monitoring: Outline how you will monitor your performance against your sustainability goals and objectives. This includes reporting metrics under available ESG reporting frameworks and developing a strategy for telling the story of your organization’s ESG journey, its successes and opportunities for improvement, and how the organization plans to reach its goals.
ESG Improvement Strategy and Initiative Development: Information will continue to evolve with changing stakeholder expectations, as will reporting requirements. Improvement initiatives can help outline the organization’s plan to meet long-term goals, whether these are internally projected or come from stakeholders or other external forces.
