Turn your ambitions into actions
Expectations around sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors are shaping today’s economy and creating opportunities for inclusive growth. Investors are requiring greater transparency on the impact of climate change for their investment strategies. Boards and C-Suite executives are increasingly embedding resilient practices into their business strategy to mitigate risks. Employees and customers want to understand how organizations are positively impacting the planet and society at large. How can you capitalize on these demands to identify opportunities to create value?
CohnReznick meets you where you are on your journey to customize a successful sustainability and ESG transformation in a practical and affordable manner. We combine our real-world experience with industry insights augmented by data-driven solutions to create value across environmental and social scopes, such as decarbonization, net-zero targeting, climate risk and resiliency, diversity and inclusion, employee health and safety, and health equity, among others.
Value creation through sustainability and ESG
Service offerings
-
Align your operating and business models with environmental, social, and governance principles to drive shareholder value. We help you prioritize ESG factors, develop a roadmap, and operationalize initiatives to meet your ambitions. Develop, execute, and measure your progress, whether that’s understanding savings from abating emissions, resilience from a sustainable supply chain, impact on household savings from energy efficiency measures, or ROI of “green” products in a new market.
-
Understand and optimize the energy efficiency of your portfolio of assets, including your supply chain; establish a baseline of your greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory and consider actions like setting Science-Based Targets to track and move toward improvements. Evaluate a cost-benefit analysis of various decarbonization levers, such as electrification, renewable energy, water and waste reduction, carbon credits, PPAs and RECs, and tax credits.
-
Build resilience with a clear understanding of what a changing climate means for your value chain, in terms of business continuity, opportunities for first-mover advantage, and scaling for sustainable growth. This requires strategic planning, evaluating physical and transition risks – from natural hazards to exposure to upcoming regulations – and carefully disclosing mitigation strategies to stakeholders and regulators. We will help you take a look into the future and develop adaptive and resilient approaches.
-
Consider a social strategy to drive impact across your organization and value chain, including employee health and safety, workforce development, diversity and inclusion, forced labor compliance, and board diversity. Measure and monetize the benefits that can increase employee productivity, shareholder value, and brand equity. Identify barriers to community resources and establish initiatives to help provide equitable access to energy and resources to improve community health outcomes.
-
Integrate environmental, social, and governance considerations into financial decision-making by assessing and quantifying the ESG risks and opportunities tied to investments or business operations. Our ESG Due Diligence solution supports the entire M&A lifecycle, from pre-deal ESG investment criteria to due diligence and post-integration support. We look at a wide range of potential red flags – as well as opportunities – that may impact the target’s current and future valuation, fostering long-term value creation and risk mitigation.
-
Collect and communicate the disclosures and metrics required for regulatory compliance through greenhouse gas (GHG) measurements (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) and aligning to global frameworks like the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), Greenhouse Gas Protocol, and Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). We help conduct a gap assessment and implement an ESG reporting target operating model for assurance readiness, including controls, systems, data management, and training. Ultimately, benefit from a communications strategy that will help build trust with investors, regulators, customers, and the broader public.
