Sustainability Consulting Services

Our world is changing. Are you leading the way to positive, sustainable change?

Sustainability consulting services continues to evolve as companies recognise supporting environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues is essential to survive in the marketplace. We know that sustainability defines an organisation, setting it apart from its competitors while impacting the whole organisation in varying ways and intensities. Yet, while many companies are aware they must act, they find it difficult to tackle ESG operating and reporting issues.

We believe sustainability is a continuous journey, presenting risks and opportunities. There are no blueprints or out-of-the-box solutions, and each company needs an individualised approach to ESG reporting and operations.

Protiviti partners with our clients to effectively manage sustainability risks and maximise opportunities, while delivering financial value.

Sustainable Operations

Adapt and improve processes and the organisational structure. We help implement sustainability solutions throughout the value chain, driving compliance to global standards and improving management of materials, energy and water.

Sustainability governance and reporting

Gain transparency and accountability by controlling the programme and its implementation. We enable better decision-making and focus on regulatory requirements, including the timeliness and accuracy of reporting and external communication with regulators.

A holistic approach to Sustainability

Sustainability is a complex, multi-dimensional topic, with varying levels of understanding across industries and companies.

We want clients to understand the bigger picture, and to clearly identify where you can have the greatest impact on society and the environment, while maximising performance. By focusing and implementing sustainable business solution into your strategy, values, structures, processes, services, and products, you will also realise the value doing good brings.
