ESG ADVISORY: A purpose-led integrated thinking approach
Integrated reporting is an outcome of how an organisation applies sustainable business principles throughout the organisation. A report that is not built on a foundation of active progress in sustainability will likely show limitations in depth and credibility. It is important therefore that in compiling an integrated report, a perspective of how the organisation is driving sustainable business practice – such as material environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters – is core to the messaging of the report.
Our sustainability services focus on the concept of integrated thinking to embed ESG and sustainability into an organisation – and to provide advisory services to embed this into an organisation’s external corporate reports. Our integrated thinking framework underpins our advisory services, including a gap analysis process to assess positioning and practices as viewed against lead practice, benchmarking of positioning against peer companies, development of an ESG/sustainability management framework and a strategy roadmap. We offer advisory support in advancing sustainability practices and processes, covering elements such as sustainability positioning, conscious adoption of standards and codes, materiality and stakeholder engagement processes, internal management accountability and performance tracking, and internal and external communication.
Our partnership with Thompson Harrison has enabled us to enhance our integrated thinking methodology to assess purpose-led integrated thinking across five core areas. Thompson Harrison have significant experience working with purpose, helping client organisations to articulate, evolve, and activate a clear and ambitious purpose.

We work with companies, development agencies, other funders and non-profit organisations to maximise the impact of development programmes. Our monitoring and evaluation (M&E) services support clients to determine what impact their development projects are having on society and on themselves, and to share this with external stakeholders.
