Throughout the assessment process Obbagy Consulting’s approach is to keep the client organization informed to ensure the ESG Scan diagnostic results are accepted, and the preliminary recommendations are realistic and actionable. Sometimes our recommendations are simply to better articulate the connections to program activities so that management and stakeholders understand. Alternatively, the recommendation might be to consider reallocating some resources to higher risk ES activities.
Some clients also want to have an overall opinion as to the status of ESG activities to use as a tool to communicate with stakeholders or Boards of Directors.
Obbagy Consulting offers three opinions as follows:
- High Return: ESG activities are aligned with the business activities and are providing benefits to the organization and its stakeholders.
- Moderate Return: Some optimization is needed to better align the ESG function with the business to yield greater benefits to the organization and its stakeholders.
- Variable Return: ESG requires greater alignment with the organization’s risk profile and internal policies to deliver benefits to the business and its stakeholders.
