Communications Benchmark
Client Problem

Comparing your company’s sustainability communications efforts to other companies of similar size or in the same industry can highlight your own company’s opportunities for leadership as well as its deficiencies. The benchmark can highlight areas of risk, where your company’s reputation may be eclipsed by peers who are able to better communicate their sustainability programs.

Solution

EcoStrategy Group has developed a methodology that scores your company’s sustainability communications vs. your peers, using fourteen specific attributes that comprise excellent sustainability reporting. We evaluate the publicly available information and reports of your company and your key competitors, identify areas of strength and weakness and recommend specific actions to improve communication effectiveness.

Stakeholder Research and Engagement
Client Problem

Organizations need to avoid costly surprise attacks on the company’s reputation, brand, or operations. Success requires that companies take the initiative to develop and maintain strong relationships with influencers inside and outside the business.

Solution

EcoStrategy Group works with your management team to identify key stakeholder groups. We develop a process for understanding and listening to stakeholders in order to understand their attitudes, information needs, and propensity to support or censure your efforts. Once we have identified and prioritized the key stakeholders, we provide clients with a blueprint for engaging them and managing the relationships critical to their business.

Confident TransparencyTM – Sustainability Communications Plan
Client Problem

How does a business communicate sustainability efforts and accomplishments to key stakeholders in order to receive appropriate credit, while simultaneously avoiding greenwashing? It’s a challenging path for companies to navigate.

Solution

EcoStrategy Group creates a strategic sustainability communications plan based on quantitative company performance that can be integrated into overall corporate communications and investor relations efforts. We identify which information to communicate, how and when to communicate it, and to whom.

CSR Reporting
Client Problem

When it comes to social and environmental responsibility, your business is in the spotlight. If you are not currently reporting on your social and environmental responsibility, you should consider doing so. Why? Because companies that compete with you for investors, customers and employees are probably reporting. The media and other industry watchers are rating companies based on what they do and how they communicate about it.

Solution

EcoStrategy Group CSR Reporting service enables you to take charge of your messages and better influence how your company is perceived. We help you clarify your goals, identify appropriate topics and frameworks for communication (for example, the Global Reporting Initiative), put together a roadmap for your reporting and develop appropriate content for your chosen medium. We get you off the blank page and, working with our affiliates, on to the printed page or web page with your messages.

Sustainability Strategy
Client Problem

Companies today face a wide array of environmental issues, yet most businesses do not have a coherent plan for addressing them. Without such a plan, businesses expose themselves to unnecessary business risks and miss out on opportunities to reduce costs and to improve revenue and reputation. If environmental initiatives are piecemeal and uncoordinated, they will not deliver the desired results.

Solution

EcoStrategy Group works with companies to establish goals and tie together disparate sustainability initiatives in order to build a cohesive, executable plan. We map the sustainability initiatives to the organization’s strategic vision and goals, and identify business risks and opportunities. Our Sustainability Playbook guides the organization’s employees in implementation of the strategy.
