Since its earliest days, Kleos Advisory has been involved in sustainability. Evolving Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) standards mean that running a sustainable business is no longer a ‘nice to have’; rather, it’s a regulatory requirement.
This means that companies and institutions need to understand how sustainability issues impact their operations and those of the companies and partners they work with, and develop effective ways to track, assess and mitigate the sustainability impacts they cause. This requires a different approach to operations and risk management, and many companies have yet to fully consider the ESG implications for their business.
In order to address this knowledge gap, Kleos Advisory works with a number of partners, including WeESG and experts such as Dr Estrela Cardoso, to develop and deliver ESG training for professionals in the financial, commodities and services sectors. The training focuses on identifying ESG risks and impacts, putting them in the context of their markets and regulatory requirements (e.g. a credible decarbonisation target in an Emerging Market is very different from one in a Developed Market), and developing transition plans to sustainable business models.
Kleos advises on ESG and sustainability issues for companies, carrying out scoping reports and ESG policy reviews, developing road maps and actions plans for companies deliver on their ESG commitments, and recrafting the ESG narrative to ensure that policy and practice are aligned, both within the company and on the international stage.
Our recent work with Dr. Estrela Cardoso has focused on Angola, advising banks, regulators and energy companies on their ESG policy, strategy and implementation.
