Create value through ESG

From theory to practice


ESG is a set of environmental, social and governance principles for the sustainable development of a company. ESG criteria are currently used by investors and other stakeholders, as they allow assessing the risks and opportunities for the development of an organisation. Climate change and resource scarcity; safety issues and data security; diversity and equal career opportunities, transparency and ethical compliance practices - these issues affect a company's ability to create value in the long term.


PwC supports companies in their quest to move from theory to practical implementation of ESG principles by helping them develop a specific plan and strategy and implement individual initiatives.



Step into your ESG journey

ESG isn’t just a responsibility of a company but an effective risk management and opportunity for growth. But integration of ESG practice might seem overwhelming. This first step will help you start your journey.

Our services:

ESG Strategy

Currently, stakeholders assess a company based on its environmental, social and governance performance, among other things. Thus, it is crucial for the company to demonstrate its action plan and commitment to results.

How can we help?

Materiality analysis
In order to determine which ESG aspects to focus on, we analyse all of the company's operations and supply chain, and consult with its internal and external stakeholders.

Goal setting and KPI selection
We help you select and set specific goals for each strategic ESG area, and identify a set of key performance indicators, which would allow you to monitor the progress, on the basis of which subsequent non-financial information will be disclosed.

Roadmapping
We will propose a plan with initiatives for each specific ESG area aimed at achieving the set objectives, which will form the basis of the ESG practice for the upcoming years. Instead of incoherent ideas you will have a structured roadmap with a focus on those projects that will give you the most value.
