Companies are faced with the challenge of ensuring economic success and reconciling this original purpose with a sustainable ESG value proposition. ESG (Environment, Social & Governance) aspects are now among the top issues on the management agenda of a growing number of companies in various industries. However, it is often difficult to assess the maturity of ESG management and the distance to leading practice examples. As KPMG's ESG experts, we want to support you in making this assessment.

Our Business Analytics ESG Management & Steering provides you with initial insights as to how you can meet the requirements of your stakeholders and ESG regulations.

Business Analytics ESG Management & Steering provides you with a pragmatic analytical tool to find out where you are in your ESG agenda. We use an extensive questionnaire to identify and assess your ESG management's current strengths, challenges and weaknesses.

Benchmarks with your peer group provide you with an assessment of your progress.

The company-specific results help you to better understand the exact requirements of your key stakeholders (e.g. investors, customers and the community) as well as those of ESG regulations (e.g. CSRD, German Supply Chain Act, ESG Reporting, etc.). This understanding provides a basis for sustainable business success and for creating sustainable value for society.
