Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) is becoming increasingly relevant for businesses of all sizes and also offers fantastic opportunities for companies. However, if ESG policies are not implemented correctly or prove unauthentic, legal, economic and reputational risk can be significant. Disingenuous or poorly drafted ESG commitments can go viral in minutes and a stellar reputation, often won painstakingly over decades, can come crashing down very quickly.
At Quastels, we are aware that taking the time to implement proper ESG practices can place a heavy burden on companies, CEO’s, senior executives and managers who are already working at full capacity. Our team can provide the capability and expertise to help businesses carry the load and navigate the complexities of the rapidly changing landscape of ESG regulation and legislation. We ensure that your business maximises all of the benefits of ESG while minimising the risks. We help our clients respond to the demands of their suppliers, funders, employees, customers and investors and work with businesses, investment firms and private equity to develop robust ESG strategies.
From Recruitment & Talent Management to Logistics & Supply Chain management, we partner with our clients and work collaboratively to implement practices that align with their business goals and sustainability objectives while at the same time meeting all regulatory and disclosure requirements. We also partner with connected trusted third parties to support the design of specific ESG-related services and can cater for companies in a wide range of sectors and of all sizes, from high-growth start-ups to established multinationals.
Whether you are looking to strengthen your credentials as a preferred supplier, develop your social governance to increase staff retention, attract talent and become as an employer of choice, improve your corporate governance to ensure compliance with emerging regulations or make environmental impact, our expert team will guide and support you every step of the way. Here’s how we can help you: Our ESG services span the full gamut of environmental, social and governance issues, helping create a robust framework that enhances business resilience and supports sustainable growth. Areas of work include:
As the UK economy speeds towards a low-carbon future, our clients are facing unprecedented levels of regulations. From SMEs to premium listed companies, businesses have to develop transition plans that lead to improvements in energy efficiency, better standards of governance and social responsibility. In 2022 the UK Transition Plan Taskforce (TPT) was launched to provide a framework for companies to disclose information demonstrating their progress towards de-carbonisation. The inevitable consequence is that businesses throughout the supply chain will face increasing requests from stakeholders, customers and suppliers, banks and buyers to disclose data about their businesses and the impact they have on the environment.
Companies and businesses need to get accept the advent of ESG responsibilities and also embrace the opportunities these present; the new laws, regulations and disclosure requirements, will affect SME’s and large corporates alike across every area of commercial life.
We very much look forward to supporting you on your ESG journey.
