Stakeholders are increasingly interested in the ESG profile of businesses. We help your organisation ensure that tax strategies and operations appropriately intersect with your corporate ESG vision and meaningfully advance ESG commitments. While incorporating ESG into tax strategies, we support you by:
- Developing a robust tax governance framework.
- Keeping you up to date with policy developments, new incentives, and funding opportunities.
- Managing non-financial reporting obligations. These efforts strengthen oversight, control, and transparency in your reporting.
- One of the most important external factors for our clients in sustainability is assessing any potential ESG and sustainability vulnerabilities, like risks in the supply chain.
Our Strategic Sustainability Consulting and Reporting services include:
- Sustainable trade and ESG risk assessment in supply chains - we identify and help you mitigate risks in your supply chain.
- Sustainability Value Proposition - we have the expertise to articulate a robust value proposition that incorporates sustainability and aligns with your goals.
- ESG Data Analysis - Data without analysis is just noise. We will analyse ESG data to uncover insights and opportunities to further support your sustainability efforts.
- ESG Narrative - we will define and communicate an evidence-based ESG narrative. This comprehensive approach allows us to create a detailed strategy tailored to your company, enabling you to transform your business, meet regulatory demands and increase your business resilience.
- We help businesses navigate, implement and comply with sustainability accounting and reporting frameworks and standards, such as the upcoming Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). By working with you to determine your obligations under sustainability reporting regulations, we ensure you meet all necessary requirements. Our services include analysing your organisation’s ESG performance, developing strategic roadmaps, and providing independent assurance over internal control frameworks and disclosed ESG metrics. Additionally, we conduct internal ESG audit reviews and gap assessments to ensure your company is prepared for future regulatory requirements.
- Our expert team will help you focus on Green Finance by illustrating how to successfully navigate sustainable finance options in Ireland and worldwide, including green bonds and real estate. Our sustainable finance advisory services will provide you with guidance on how to take ESG considerations into account when making investment decisions and how to redirect financial resources towards environmentally sustainable projects.
