Sustainability & ESG strategy
Materiality
ESG Materiality refers to the significance of environmental, social, and governance factors that impact a company’s financial performance and long-term value. These factors are deemed "material" when they have a substantial effect on a company's ability to achieve its objectives and create value for shareholders and stakeholders.
We support clients to identify material ESG issues to enable a focus on the most relevant sustainability risks and opportunities, enabling informed decision-making.
A focus on material ESG issues allows for transparent reporting, improving investor confidence, ensuring compliance with regulations, and supports long-term business resilience and growth.
Sustainability & ESG strategy
It’s essential to have a clear organisational strategy that the team understand and can support. It’s exactly the same for an ESG or sustainability strategy.
An organisation’s strategy will depend on its activities, impacts and aims. Square Gain works with the Board and its nominated representatives to clearly understand the organisational culture, strategy and operations, and how ESG and sustainability support these. We combine our expertise in market comparisons, forthcoming legislation and financial levers to develop a strategy that meets the aims, expectations and aspirations of the organisation.
We also support the launch with communications, training and implementation of the ESG and sustainability strategy.
