Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) - the “S” in the ESG

With 193 governments agreeing to deliver 17 goals tackling major world issues by 2030, change lies ahead for business, not only to rethink strategy and business behaviour to align with the goals, but also to assess and evidence their impact.

Supporting you to address the S in the ESG

  • Assist with developing fair and inclusive HR policies, such as Diversity & Inclusion Policy, as well as strategies and programs to attract, integrate and retain diverse workforce, including cultural and behavioral change initiatives, leadership alignment and role modelling etc.
  • Assist with improving gender equality & equal pay according to international standards and to help you obtain a recognized certification across industries - Equal Salary Certification; our approach starts with an in-depth analysis followed by onsite visits where we review the management commitment to equal pay, integration of fair remuneration strategies and perception of employees against reward policies. At the end, we support to successfully pass the external audit in order to be certified.
  • Support in developing processes to monitor social and D&I indicators and behaviors amongst your stakeholders (e.g. suppliers)
