  • What would your stakeholders value?
  • ESG is a broad agenda, how can you focus on what’s important to your stakeholders?
  • What’s the gap between what you are doing today and where you need to get to?

Things to consider:

  • How do you compare yourself against key competitors and best practice?
  • What UN Sustainable Development Goals should you focus on?
  • Do your key stakeholders expect a robust, data-led analysis that would stand up to scrutiny or is a desk top review adequate for their needs?
