The integration of ESG criteria into business strategy has become increasingly important in recent years, as investors, consumers and their stakeholders in general are increasingly looking for organizations that adequately manage environmental and social issues in their operations.

In addition, by developing an ESG strategy, companies gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace and can have better long-term financial performance. This is because by taking these criteria into account, they can mitigate legal risks and reputations, as well as attract investors and consumers who are increasingly aware of environmental and social impacts.
At RSM we accompany your organization in the step-by-step development and implementation of the ESG strategy, for which we provide various services that allow the company to address ESG criteria in a comprehensive manner or in a modular way according to the needs of the organization.

Our services include the selection of customized indicators, with clear timelines to achieve financial, sustainability and operational objectives.
