Sustainability & ESG

There is no “one size fits all” when it comes to implementing your ESG initiative. Even within pre-established reporting frameworks, there is flexibility in how ESG applies to a particular company, its market(s), industry, and unique competitive context as well as to the character and value triggers of its various stakeholder constituencies.

Gnarus experts can help you focus on those elements of ESG that are most material to your company and on the elements of your company that are susceptible to the greatest ESG risk.

Our experts are experienced in evaluating, measuring and implementing cross-disciplinary sustainability programs, with particular expertise in product and process sustainability. Product sustainability is being used today to create competitive advantage, to create regulatory advantage, to mitigate liabilities and to positively influence consumers and investors. Process sustainability is being used to reduce short- and long-term manufacturing costs and to create regulatory, legislative and community advantages. In both situations, once opportunities are identified, they can be evaluated and prioritized from a cost and cost-effectiveness standpoint. Gnarus experts provide guidance and insight into these areas, helping clients identify and evaluate sustainability opportunities.
