SERVICES

Strategic planning:
We help companies formulate and implement strategies to capture and manage opportunities related to social and environmental issues. For companies able to innovate and formulate bold strategies to capture market share based on sustainability, these issues hold the potential for unprecedented opportunity. We have developed tools to help companies accomplish this with a methodology to identify, measure and integrate corporate social opportunities into management decision making for corporate growth and profit.

Risk Management:
We help companies design systems to integrate social and political risks into existing corporate risk management practices, implementing systems and measuring risks for improved management decision-making. We have developed a framework that integrates social and political risk into financial calculations, providing a practical method that is sensitive to balancing the costs of management time and the significant cost of ignoring what have become major risks in global business.

Research & Reporting:
We conduct independent, business-critical research to help companies implement solutions and deploy sustainability strategies. We also help companies develop thematic directions and content for internal and external reporting, including annual sustainability reports and case studies. We align reporting and messaging with overall sustainability strategy.

Stakeholder engagement & Public-private partnerships:
We help companies formulate and implement effective stakeholder engagement strategies and we broker discussions with key stakeholders including non-governmental organizations. Understanding and managing stakeholder expectations—how employees, customers, shareholders, and members of the community are reacting to business practices—can impact the bottom line; we help clients manage stakeholder engagement strategies as part of a broad-based sustainability strategy.
