OUR SERVICES

What can we do to develop your corporate governance system?

Identifying material ESG topics

The identification of material ESG topics is carried out by analyzing external data based on the Big Data platform using AI technologies, high-speed computational linguistics and sociological measurements to determine the event series and includes:

- Collecting and structuring feedback from media and social networks, analytics and data analytics of external data;

- Identifying key meta-data to assess the impact of events on the brand.

- Marking of events that are material for disclosure based on the "Double materiality" principle;

- Analysis of ESG impact based on external data;

- Identifying reputational risks and providing recommendations on crisis communications. 

“Double materiality” assessment

Based on the results of ESG material topics identification, a unique "ESG-F" methodology is used. It allows you to assess the "Double materiality" of the company's impact in accordance with CSRD/ESRS/GRI international requirements and standards:

- Classification of material events by ESG topics and sub-topics;

- Identification of stakeholders, value chains, and time horizons.

- Assessment of impact on society by scale, scope and remediability parameters;

- Assessment of impact on the company's capitals: financial, industrial, human, intellectual and social. 

ESG Risk Management

Based on the results of ESG topics identification, as well as assessing "Double Materiality", we regularly monitor sector and company specific ESG risks:

- Analysis of retrospective data with regard to changes in the ESG risk map;

- Analysis with regard to consistency of disclosures made on materialized ESG risks and mitigating measures taken;

- Real-time monitoring to identify ESG risks factors;

- Analysis and benchmarking of ESG risks by industry/region. 

ESG communication with stakeholders

Regulators require companies to comply with certain disclosure guidelines. When supporting the implementation of communication with stakeholders, we provide:

- Consistency and reliability of the disclosed information through the analysis of retrospective data;

- Compliance with national and international ESG standards on completeness and materiality;

- Identification of reputational and social risks in relation to the company's activities that affect ESG aspects;

- Reaching consensus among the company's stakeholders by eliminating communication gaps.

Corporate ESG Culture

Training from the Board of Directors to employees of the" first line of defense " of ESG risk management.

In addition to the developed “offline” ESG trainings we offer a unique communication tool. This is our own IT system - GamiSoft. A gamified SaaS training platform.

The topics of training events are constantly updated and are mainly devoted to:

- ESG regulatory requirements and their implications for companies;

- Identification, assessment and management of ESG risks;

- Features of reporting on the principle of "Double materiality" by sectors.

- Ensuring the reliability and consistency of information to be verified by external independent auditor.
