Sustainability & ESG
Helping you with your compliance and assurance issues around Sustainability – Environmental, Social and Governance
Our Services
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) accounting quantifies your organisation’s climate impact by measuring emissions across your value chain. It is a crucial requirement for partnering with larger organisations and ensuring regulatory compliance.
The GHG Protocol, the leading global standard, follows four key steps:
- Setting boundaries
- Collecting data
- Calculating your emissions
- Verification and reporting
We provide expert support in conducting GHG assessments, implementing management systems for seamless data capture, and developing a strategic emissions reduction plan that drives value while cutting costs.
Climate change presents both direct and indirect risks to businesses, from physical damage and operational disruptions to rising costs, regulatory shifts, and evolving market demands. Larger organisations are now required to disclose climate risks, and investors increasingly assess these factors in business transactions.
We provide expert climate advisory services to help you meet regulatory requirements, including climate-related financial disclosures, and strengthen business resilience. Our tailored approach supports industries from logistics and real estate to tourism, healthcare, and retail, ensuring compliance, mitigating risks, and identifying new growth opportunities in a changing climate.
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) mandates large and listed EU companies to disclose their ESG impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs), following the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). From 2025, businesses must digitally report sustainability data, undergo assurance reviews, and align with strict classification and disclosure requirements.
With 12 ESRS standards, 82 reporting requirements, and over 10,000 data points, compliance can be complex. We simplify this with our 4-step approach:
- Business Context – Mapping strategy, risk appetite, market landscape, and sustainability ambitions.
- Double Materiality Assessment – Identifying key ESG issues through surveys, workshops, and stakeholder engagement.
- Gap Analysis – Aligning strategy with compliance, governance, and data needs while identifying risks and opportunities.
- Implementation & Reporting – Structuring priorities, assigning ownership, and ensuring compliance with phased sustainability planning.
Our expertise helps businesses navigate CSRD, streamline reporting, and integrate ESG into financial planning—minimising costs while maximising impact.
The transition to a sustainable economy requires significant capital reallocation and the pursuit of new financing opportunities. Oury Clark helps clients establish effective ESG strategies aligned with their investment goals and regulatory requirements through a streamlined four-step approach:
- ESG Policy Development – Crafting tailored ESG policies for investment funds to drive sustainable outcomes.
- Risk Integration – Collaborating with private equity firms to embed ESG risks and sustainability considerations throughout the investment process.
- Sustainable Financing Framework – Assisting corporations in developing transparent processes for financing sustainable initiatives, including sustainability-linked loans.
- Regulatory Alignment – Ensuring compliance with key ESG disclosures like SFDR, TCFD, and the UN SDGs to enhance transparency and stakeholder trust.
Our expertise enables businesses to navigate sustainable finance complexities, optimise their investment strategies, and maximise impact.
Conducting ESG Due Diligence is essential for companies seeking financing or owners preparing for an exit. Our rigorous three-step approach assesses sustainability practices and identifies potential risks and opportunities:
- Assessing Material ESG Practices – Evaluating existing sustainability initiatives.
- Benchmarking Performance – Analysing customer and competitor landscapes to gauge performance.
- Identifying Risks and Opportunities – Uncovering key levers that impact the business model and strategy.
Engaging in ESG Due Diligence helps detect issues that could cause delays and reassures potential investors about your value-creation opportunities. This process enhances risk management and allows you to focus on creating value while meeting evolving ESG regulations and stakeholder expectations.
Our Sustainability Health Check evaluates your current ESG practices and identifies gaps or areas for improvement. We collaborate with you to define what is material to your organisation, ensuring alignment with your strategy, commercial drivers, and stakeholders. This process adheres to industry best practices, such as the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) materiality framework.
Areas of focus:
- Energy efficiency
- Environmental impact
- Social responsibility
- Employee retention and turnover
- Diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I).
A review of corporate governance structures will encompass:
- Transparency
- Ethical decision-making
- Alignment with sustainability principles
This approach fosters economic resilience through financial stability, effective risk management, and long-term viability. A sustainable company balances economic success with environmental and social responsibility.
Achieving a sustainable supply chain involves:
- Accounting for the entire footprint of operations including:
- Sustainability practices
- Carbon emissions
- Sourcing and production of materials and waste.
- Supplier surveys with tabulated results including:
- Response rate
- Key reduction activities being undertaken
- Supplier pain points around measuring emissions and,
- Assistance that can be given to suppliers.
- Outputs include:
- Supplier code of conduct policies
- Procurement pathways
- Infographic summary of supply chain carbon survey results (if applicable) and commitments.
We focus on educating employees and management about Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) concepts while building internal capacity to manage ESG initiatives effectively.
Our training programmes include Carbon Literacy and can also involve creating and leading internal strategy roadmap workshops. These sessions help clarify and agree on the level of ambition for your organisation and identify which ambitions may be communicated externally.
