ESG Reporting for a Public Company
Client:
$1+ billion global public company
Opportunity:
A global real estate company recognized the importance of publishing a sustainability and impact report but lacked the infrastructure and expertise needed to collect and assess data, tell their sustainability story, and develop the report. With no clear baseline or international ESG standard to follow, the company was unsure of where to begin.
Solution:
Our team at Uplift partnered with the company to determine the right ESG framework for their needs, ultimately selecting the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) as a standard measurement system that could be used across the enterprise. We then collaborated with the company to identify credible reporting data and developed a data collection system that could be used moving forward.
Outcomes:
Our team helped the company prioritize gaps, risks, and opportunities, and guided them in prioritizing the most urgent and material areas to focus on using a feasibility matrix.
We developed a comprehensive data collection process and infrastructure that allowed the company to collect data across the enterprise, ensuring that all relevant information was gathered in a streamlined and effective manner.
To help the company gain internal buy-in and communicate about the reporting process, we created a change management process that was tailored to their unique needs and challenges.
We leveraged our findings to inform the development of the company’s ESG strategy, helping them to build a more sustainable and responsible business.
