The ESG Launch Program makes starting and up-leveling an ESG program easy for in-house counsel. We are there to support you from the initial assessment phase through reporting - providing the expert guidance you need to accelerate your results.

ESG Launch Program

Clients, investors, and regulators are demanding that corporations provide transparent environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosures. ESG missteps can result in loss of business, loss of investment dollars, greenwashing allegations, and brand damage.
If you are an in-house counsel tasked with ESG, you may feel overwhelmed. ESG is a new subject for most lawyers. You don’t have bandwidth, and you are expected to deliver results quickly. 

The ESG Launch Program is a solution designed just for you. It will accelerate your development as an ESG leader and enable you to operationalize ESG quickly and efficiently. 

The ESG Launch Program will support your success by helping you build a focused and strategic approach to ESG. The program includes 12 ESG advisory sessions, 3 ESG leadership workshops, tools, templates, and ongoing access to expertise.

The ESG Challenge

How the ESG Launch Program Works

The ESG Launch Program accompanies you over a 12-month period through the five phases of operationalizing ESG.

Phase One: Assessing Your ESG Gap

In Phase One of the program, we will assess your current ESG performance against market expectations and the requests you have received from stakeholders including clients and investors. Together we will identify your quick wins and strategic actions and eliminate items that don't serve your business at this time.

Phase Two: The ESG Business Case

In Phase Two, we will build support for ESG across your organization. We will map your stakeholders, identify your ESG pain points, and collaborate on potential solutions. The phase includes a customized session designed to create a common understanding of ESG challenges and opportunities among your executive team. At the end of this phase, your executive team will be prepared to make ESG strategy and investment decisions.

Phase Three: ESG Strategy

In Phase Three, we will work with your executive team to develop an ESG strategy that is customized to your industry, business objectives, and maturity level.  The outcome will be an alignment around one to three company-wide priorities that can be broken down into goals for the next 12 months.

Phase Four: ESG Action

In Phase Four, we will develop a roadmap for accomplishing your company's strategic ESG objectives, and we will launch a cross-functional ESG working group responsible for delivering results against these actions. This working group will be the engine of your progress throughout your ESG lifecycle.

Phase Five: ESG Reporting

In Phase Five, we will build the infrastructure you need to support internal and external ESG reporting. This reporting will be a tool for building accountability to your ESG objectives while also providing your stakeholders with the information they are seeking.
By the end of the program, you will have ESG practices in place that you can continue to evolve year over year as new challenges emerge. More than that, you will have the knowledge and skills you need to be a confident ESG leader. We can't wait to go on this journey with you!
