Hi All,

Recently got the opportunity to "grow our ESG/CSR" practice at a small regional consulting firm, due to my recent grad certification in sustainable strategy. Wondering where I should focus us as a services industry for big impact - we have a large product innovation, engineering area, and know in the past we've had a lot of lip service to clients and only recorded ESG for their compliance.

Hoping to make a big difference and include CSR/Sust audits for our client projects! Any tips?

I'll share what I find! So far, my goal is to get LT to workshop materiality and priority rating internally, set up some key pillars, and also try to include audits in our other projects, even if they "seem unrelated". As a services consulting company, we need some better baseline metrics for DEI and CSR/ESG, so will go from there.

Additionally, I've posted elsewhere and one commenter mentioned incorporating TCFD framework and climate-financial disclosures, due to regulations that will likely be put in place in the next 1-3-5 yr mark.

Where did you end up? Happy with it?
