The goal of Sultan Global Group’s (SGG’s) Transparency & Sustainability (T&S) Practice is to assist companies and investors with transparency and sustainability goals both in response to stakeholder concerns and, as a vital component of a company’s strategic direction.
In the corporate world, investors are seeking meaningful and current information to assess the environment and community impacts of company’s supply chain, operations and products.
Equally, these stakeholders want to know how companies are responding to global challenges such as water scarcity, deforestation, human rights, and climate change and how these challenges will affect their reputation, financial results, long-term growth prospects and future liabilities.
This area of our practice focuses on working with companies to identify strengths and vulnerabilities and to develop and deliver relevant information to stakeholders which demonstrates how they are building on these strengths and improving their sustainability performance in line with societal expectations.
We have high-level experience in collaborative efforts with both mainstream and SRI. investors to help them measure and track companies’ sustainability performance in support of effective investment decisions. Our program capabilities, though appropriate for large corporations and investment entities, can be tailored for medium- and small- companies as well as for individual investors.
Our personnel have been intimately involved with Fortune 50 companies’ development of environment and sustainability public goals and targets, as well as the successful implementation of those initiatives. We have led major industry transparency and sustainability initiatives such as the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) and the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI).
Our experience with the U.S. EITI Multi-Stakeholder Group which brought together industry, government and NGOs to promote good governance through public reporting of rents, royalties, and taxes paid to governments makes us a leading authority on EITI.
Moreover, our involvement with past TRI data acquisition and reporting in the chemical industry makes us one of the most well-versed firms in this area. We have led company responses to TRI which requires identification and quantification of toxic chemical releases to air, water or land from all US facilities and public reporting by location on an annual basis.
Though much of our experience involves transparency and sustainability efforts in corporate settings, our personnel can also apply these learnings to medium and small businesses as well as individual investments.
Companies are seeking to grow and transform their businesses in alignment with public expectations that they will minimize or eliminate adverse safety, health and environmental impacts.
This practice will also focus on identifying potential impacts of companies’ operations and products on employees, local communities, consumers and broader society. We then develop strategies to measure, track and continuously improve their performance in addressing those impacts with the objective of creating positive financial and reputational outcomes.
Our personnel have led the development and execution of industry-leading programs and targets for Climate Change (greenhouse gas reductions), world leading conservation projects, energy efficiency efforts, product stewardship, sustainability reporting and assurance audits.
Trust SGG’s Transparency & Sustainability Practice to guide your business in enhancing efforts to meet the growing concerns on behalf of the general public and shareholders to address the impacts of climate change, air quality, water scarcity and other issues impacting the environment and communities.
