ESG is an operating system—policies without measurement don’t survive the first audit.
Key points
- Build a baseline: energy, water, waste, emissions, and compliance status.
- Do a materiality assessment with internal + external stakeholders.
- Set targets with owners, budgets, and timelines (not just aspirations).
- Define KPIs and monthly dashboards for leadership review.
- Prepare disclosures aligned to your chosen framework (GRI/SDG/industry-specific).
If you need quick wins, start with waste and water reuse—often the fastest ROI.
