ESG risks can be devastating if not properly managed. Proactively planning for these threats can reduce costs and protect your business.
ESG Risk Guard partners with your organization to develop your ESG strategy or to help you proactively identify, manage and mitigate ESG risks to your business. We design tailored roadmaps so that you can navigate the complex ESG risk landscape while preserving and protecting your financial health.
Unsure how or where to start? We provide a range of tools tailored to your business to help you quickly analyze and assess your organization’s preparedness to manage your ESG (including climate-related) risks. These tools provide you practical steps to identify, manage, and mitigate the ESG risks you have identified, either on your own or through a continued partnership with us.
Suitable for small and mid-size businesses in all sectors and for institutional and other investors. We work with CEOs, business owners, business leaders and investors to identify their greatest ESG risks and develop plans to identify and mitigate exposure and to identify potential opportunities across their portfolios. Whether getting started or navigating more complex situations, we can help.
For all organizations, we lead executive, C-level and Board engagements across the spectrum of ESG risk and strategy. From education to calculating your carbon footprint, we can help. For those more advanced in their sustainability journey, from calculating or estimating your Scope 3 emissions, to planning for Net Zero or Science Based Targets, or TCFD planning and reporting.
While our clients are frequently mid-sized companies in all sectors, asset owners, asset managers or investors, our services are applicable to organizations of all sizes. We are happy to engage with businesses with more complex needs or corporate infrastructure.
