ESG

Practical solutions for a sustainable future.

BDO’s Sustainability services help you to communicate your business values—and your business value

BDO can help you seize the opportunities, mapping the qualitative and quantitative changes necessary to position your organization as a leader in ESG.

Transformative world events—an international health crisis, social movements, shareholder and investor values, global supply chains, energy transition, smart cities, and sustainable finance—are transforming the business landscape.

Standards are rapidly changing to reflect the goals of all of your stakeholders. Organizations, investors, and customers are embracing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations as important measures of success. Non-financial and financial information is becoming more interconnected.

What presents as risk—threats in a SWOT analysis—can afford your organization, small business or enterprise-level corporation, with new opportunities.

From in-depth Advisory services to leading-edge data and AI solutions, BDO can help you transform your business for transformative times, identifying, implementing, and integrating sustainability initiatives and ESG compliance.

Driving impact with ESG programs

Prioritizing specific ESG factors can help businesses interpret the opaque system of reporting obligations and requirements. We’ve identified six core ESG areas that will help business leaders get ahead of upcoming regulation and position their organization as an ESG leader.

Climate footprint and GHG emissions

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are one of the leading environmental concerns today and regulation is well underway. Our team of experts can help your company take a proactive approach to climate-related disclosures and practices.

Decarbonization

At BDO, we believe that the key to decarbonization lies in innovative, business-forward solutions that consider both financial and environmental challenges. Our solutions are scalable and adaptable to the unique needs of your business.

ESG risk and opportunities diagnostic

A holistic vision of where you stand will help your business better understand the current state of its ESG risks and identify actionable next steps for addressing gaps.

ESG strategy, roadmap, and reporting

A strong ESG framework encompasses a company's commitment to managing its sustainability impact in a way that supports its long-term growth objectives and empowers business leaders to make informed decisions.

Supply chain risk assessment, including ESG factors

Legislation requiring greater supply chain transparency among companies is nearing enactment. By understanding how it affects you, you can take the steps necessary to get ahead of the regulation.
