Sustainable investor relations services
As former institutional investors we have decades of experience in discussions with companies and boards about material future influences on their business. This broad expertise, combined with over five years’ ESG analysis which originated on the buyside, is uniquely valuable and drives our approach as advisors today.
We help companies develop, benchmark and communicate their ESG metrics and performance to encourage more effective dialogue with investors. We have deep market understanding of what influences investors’ decision-making, including the role and methodology of ratings agencies.
We have undertaken over 100 buyside company specific ESG reviews exploring topics such as sustainability, environmental controls, board structure and tax policy. Most importantly we understand how ESG factors link into operational best practice, strategy and how it should be communicated in the investment case.
We offer a comprehensive range of services which are entirely bespoke and extremely practical in nature:
- Current status assessment – detailed review of ESG principles, disclosure, data points and overall approach
- Benchmarking vs peers and best practice
- Review of ratings agencies ESG scores to identify gaps, providing guidance on how to achieve a “fair” score
