ESG Value Creation Consulting

Many companies are already addressing aspects of ESG in the normal course of operations, but haven't done the work to align on their ESG priorities and put the subsequent policies, frameworks, and a governance structure in place. Malk works hand in hand with a company's leadership to build alignment and put in place programmatic building blocks. This process typically begins with an ESG stakeholder materiality assessment where Malk gathers data from a range of internal and external stakeholders to help prioritize ESG issues material to a company's business. This workstream takes into account factors such as customer requirements, employee sentiment, and competitive peer practices, grounding the resulting ESG program in business-critical drivers.

The "E" and "S" of ESG get comparatively more attention in the market today than the "G," which makes it all the more important for companies to ensure that strong governance does not slip through the cracks.  Board members are key stakeholders in promoting strong ESG performance and driving accountability for initiatives. Board-level expertise on ESG topics tends to vary widely, so Malk fills this gap by offering specialized training and advisory services to Board members, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively oversee ESG matters.

Strong diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) performance is positively correlated with broader financial performance. By integrating DEI practices into your business strategy, you can unlock the full potential of your workforce, attract diverse talent, and enhance your reputation as a socially responsible organization. Despite this fact, DEI remains an area that companies are challenged by, often opting for inaction in order to avoid missteps. Our ESG consulting experts conduct comprehensive DEI analyses, identifying gaps and areas for improvement tailored to where your organization is today and your goals moving forward.
