ESG and Sustainability Advisory
In an evolving compliance environment, the task of the standards-setting organisation is particularly challenging. Creating corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability standards that are both fit for purpose and that hold up to industry scrutiny requires specialist expertise.
We understand how environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues can materially impact any diamond or gemstone company’s performance and ultimately, its value. We deliver advice on this evolving topic area for many stakeholders in the industry.
What We Do – WWW’s unique position in the diamond industry
What We Offer – ESG and Sustainability Strategy for your business
We offer a comprehensive and customised set of services for standard-setting organisations, and we’ll work with you to decide what combination of products is right for your company. We can assist your business with navigating a number of standardised frameworks to demonstrate your commitment to mitigating ESG risk, namely: The Global Reporting Index (GRI Standards and Core Options), the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the National Voluntary Guidelines on Social, Environmental and Economic Responsibilities of Businesses.
This ranges from full ESG and Sustainability assessments and long-form reports, disclosure exercises and associated annual reporting, to summary presentations which organisations can use internally or to upload on their websites.
